A hint is just a hint, the WM may do as it please anyway. It is considered bad behaviour to try to steal input focus when started. It should depend on what policy the user has set, focus-follows-mouse or click-to-focus.
If Emacs is started with focus-follows-mouse and the mouse isn't in a frame, I would expect Emacs not to have focus. However, some WMs warp the mouse to newly started applications. For click-to-focus I think the WM just does what it thinks is best. Some WMs have a setting ("give focus to new window") which the user can use to influence this.
So to conclude, if Emacs where to try do anything, there are window managers where this would fail anyway. Better if the OP can get KWin to behave. Maybe there is some option for this in KWin.
