Well, the .deb install is a system install, but an appimage doesn't install to the system, it's in it's own little environment. You likely have a folder like ~/.config/GIMP/3.2/plug-ins/ where GIMP plug-ins live, and if you had a gmic_gimp_qt you could place it there and change the permissions to make it executable, but this is a hunch on my part. Unfortunately, I've never done this, so you might want to ask this in the appropriate Linux forums for Ubuntu, or Debian, or whichever flavor of Linux you're on.
