I would assume it's just the module that works on image files. AFAIK, you don't need qemu if you have KVM. The same way you don't need KVM if you use Xen ...
The rpm package note for kvm-qemu-img says this:
Summary : Qemu disk image utility Description : This package contains qemu-img, the qemu command line tool for manipulating disk images, built from the qemu source code included on the KVM source.
This package should be useful for systems that don't have a qemu package but need qemu-img.
So, it would appear as if kvm-qemu-img is intended as a lightweight replacement for the full qemu package where all the functionality of the latter is not required. However, as I wish to use virt-manager clearly the full qemu package is required.
