Basically, yes.
Actually, the primitive in lisp to call functions is apply, so it is
possible that it doesn't go thru funcall, but thru apply.
But in emacs, there are other "primitives", and I guess it's
call-interactively that is used to call commands, from keybindings.
Note that you cannot bind to a key a random function in emacs. You
can only bind (and actually call it), a _command_, which is a function
that has an interactive declaration.

When I associate a function with a keybinding, that function is called using funcall from command-loop function when I press a function?
Thanks.
