Is the desktop environment responsible for affecting behaviour to certain keys?

Is the desktop environment responsible for affecting behaviour to certain keys?

I have a laptop which have a Fn key. Using xev command shows that Fn + UpArrow is affected to XF86AudioRaiseVolume.
If I use KDE, is it KDE that is responsible for affecting a behaviour to that symbol?
I have Arch linux installed with openbox and this key (and other Fn + ...) does not work.
On Ubuntu + KDE, it works.
I was wondering if it was my responsability to configure Openbox in Arch linux to provide those keys with a behaviour.
