Will this graphic be featured on the loading screen as well (when it's implemented)?
Yes.
The about screen graphic will also be featured on the inkscape.org home page and on some merchandise in the shop. The shop stuff will have to be tested to get it right.
How long does Inkscape take to start for you? Here it's coming up basically instantaneous. So I wonder if a loading screen is really needed, or if the work to add that should maybe be spent in fixing slowness in startup instead, like caching icons, querying fonts in a separate thread, ...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1528629 is a considerable issue (at least on Windows) and I don't see an alternative to building font cache on first start.
