No, what the Senedd did was change the default speed limit - the one in areas with street lighting unless otherwise signed.
Some of the areas which were signed as 30 have been changed to 20, but many haven't changed and they are still 30 zones.

It's been done quite intelligently round here: the town itself is 20 (and signed as such), but the bypass is 40 when passing houses, 50 the rest of the time (and signed appropriately) with a 30 section round the ASDA roundabout (signed again).

I think it's a bad idea though: it'll increase air pollution as everyone will be in a lower gear, increase prices as deliveries will take longer so there will be fewer per van / truck per day and I doubt it will save lives as it's likely to be largely ignored (just as the 30 limit often is) unless the whole country is blanketed in speed cameras ...
It may even increase accidents and injuries due to the "risk compensation factor" (just like the introduction of compulsory seatbelts caused more deaths as accidents got bigger so donor organs weren't usable when the victims arrived at hospital).
