Yes and no.

autovivification in general applies in writish kinds of context, but
that is a somewhat imprecise concept.

Note that keys() can be in lvalue context (allowing you to set the
hash bucket size); it just so happens that keys always puts a hash
dereference argument in lvalue context whether or not keys itself is;
perlglossary is quite correct in terms of the context applied to the
dereference itself.
