Is this a strategy?

Let's say my opponent castles earlier than me and castles kingside.  Sometimes I will try and castle queenside even if it's a little less convenient and then rush the kingside pawns at my opponent's king. 

 

Is this a common strategy at all?

Absolutely, but of course the opponent will rush his queenside pawns against your king also.

Search for the Yugoslav Attack in the Dragon to find some highlights.

Bobby Fischer - Larsen played a game in 1958 where they were castled on opposite sides of the board. It was a great game where both players rushed their pawns towards their enemy's king.
