No, it's not enough. Some people use keyboard navigation (usually with Bluetooth keyboards) on mobile devices, with and without screen readers.

It would be WCAG conformant to make the buttons appear on focus, as is common with "Skip to content" links. Only user testing will tell you if people have usability issues with that.
