Yes, but those executive orders followed Congressional action authorizing a certain level of pay raise. Once that happened then the President decided how much of the authorized/specified raise would be allocated to “locality pay”.
I may have missed it, but I do not recall Congressional action passing this pay raise. Perhaps it was done recently and buried in some of the limited legislation that got through the Senate’s inaction.
