Yes it does.

After some investigations, I've managed to get copy\paste action working.
So, to answer Dennis' question, this is a list of things necessary for 
it to work:
1. "virtio-win-guest-tools" has to be installed inside Windows guest.
2. VM guest configuration has to have "Channel spice" device (type 
"spicevmc" with default settings)
3. Required services called "QEMU Guest Agent" and "Spice Agent" has to 
be in running state inside Windows guest.

Adding user to groups "libvirt" and\or "libvirt-qemu" is not necessary 
to get copy\paste functions to work.
And it is probably more secure not to add user to these groups, 
especially if it is your PC and you are the only user.
