They are in cartesian, sure. 

If you have a R-point with (rx,ry,rz) coordinates with
respect to basis vectors a,b,c, then the cartesian
ones could be obtained according to transformation
rx*ax+ry*bx+rz*cx for X, and similarly for Y and Z. 

For high symmetry k-points please have a look at a
textbook, say Bradly&Cracknell, Ashcroft&Mermin,
Cracknell&Wong, Kittel, etc. 

Bests,
Eyvaz.
