Correct! In every software terminal emulation GNU Emacs is the guest of this software product. When its host is not able to receive or distinguish the signals about the keys being pressed (or released), then the host cannot send anything to its guest. (You might try to teach your terminal emulation a bit more key events.) So GNU Emacs does not receive anything. To check what it might receive you can press, for example in *scratch* buffer, C-q and then some desired key combination. By this means you record anything the host programme sends to its guest GNU Emacs. You can also type C-h l, which shows a recording of what you typed. Or actually of what GNU Emacs received from your keyboard work...
