Generally, yes.  The easiest way to find out where in a well-established 
project like Wireshark is to identify some similar file, such as 
packet-spice.c and use grep to find out where that file is mentioned. 
When I do that, I find that packet-spice.c is mentioned in 
epan/CMakeLists.txt and epan/dissectors/Makefile.common which suggests 
where your file name might be added.
