I have a Anker Bluetooth keyboard and I was able to get the keys to work with and without VoiceOver. There are limitations. For example, several times the keys would not work and I had to switch apps/tabs in Safari on iOS and then was able to get them to work. There is no additional visual focus without VoiceOver. With VoiceOver dvis with tabindex=0 on them were included but nothing was announced when navigating with these keys. I was using iOS 11.2.x So if things aren't working make sure you have a recent iOS version and try switching tabs (control+tab) and tapping (if you can) in order to wake up the functionality.
