If you save your Mp3tag configuration with File -\> Save configuration, the Action Groups are part of the "Mp3tagSettings.zip"-Archive.

Just have a look inside the \*.zip file and you will find all of them in the subfolder `\data\actions`

So the answer is:  
YES, custom actions are also included.

I don't know how you did it - as you don't tell.

The documenation has a section about the preferred way:

> **[Download and Installation – Mp3tag Documentation](https://docs.mp3tag.de/getting-started/installation/)**
>
> Details on where to download Mp3tag, Mp3tag's different installation modes, and system requirements for the usage of Mp3tag. Mp3tag is the universal Tag Editor.
