I would say that you can't rely on them knowing about expanding select boxes. Also, Changing something based on someone arrowing through a select list is a bad idea for a few reasons, but mostly because screen reader users might not be aware of the change. Worse yet is if the change involves moving focus or loading a new page, that'll create issues for both screen reader and keyboard users.
