No, RGBD SLAM only provides localization and mapping. That is, it tries to build a map and figure out where the robot is within that map. What you're talking about is path planning. If you look at the diagram on this page, it's the move_base package that does that planning.

I think this would be a good question to read: http://answers.ros.org/question/9712/how-to-use-rgbd-6d-slam-for-path-planning-and-navigation-with-kinect/.
