If

  • the bowler has bowls the ball,
  • the batsmen misses the ball,
  • the ball goes to the wicket-keeper,
  • it touches the leg of the keeper,
  • and finally it touches the stump,

is that a stumping or not?

If the batsman was out of his crease, then yes, that is a stumping. Law 39.2 states:

39.2 Ball rebounding from wicket-keeper’s person

If the wicket is put down by the ball, it shall be regarded as having been put down by the wicket-keeper if the ball:

rebounds on to the stumps from any part of the wicket-keeper’s person or equipment

or has been kicked or thrown on to the stumps by the wicket-keeper.

Note the word any. Since it hit his leg before going onto the stumps, it's a stumping.
