Sort of ... at least two circuits are required to serve small-appliances and these circuits shall have no other outlets (i.e., indicating a home run circuit), with some exceptions, see:
- 210.52 Dwelling Unit Receptacle Outlets.
- - (B) Small Appliances.
- - - (1) Receptacle Outlets Served.
- - - (2) No Other Outlets.

However, you specifically mentioned GFCI receptacles at the kitchen backsplashes those receptacles are allowed on small-appliance branch circuits which could contain receptacles which are not required to be GFCI protected, thus the GFCI protected receptacle circuits would not necessarily be home run circuits in the strict sense and use of the term "home run circuit".
