Yes - the Migration chapter (chapter 6) of the  9.5 Planning and Installation Guide begins with this:
Note:To migrate from versions 9.2 and 9.3 to version 9.5  ensure that you have installed the APARs listed in the EQQICNVS sample job
Similarly the Migration chapter for the 10.1 Planning and Installation Guide begins with:
Note: Before migrating ensure that you have installed the required APARs, which are listed in the EQQICNVS sample job.
| (To migrate from 9.2 to 10.1 requires a two-step migration  job - 9.2 to 9.3 or 9.5, then 9.3 or 9.5 to 10.1) 
These comment lines in the 9.5  and 10.1 EQQICNVS job (from SEQQSAMP) give the specific PTFs required:
