Yes. You've bound these keys in the global keymap. However, CC Mode has
bound these keys in its local keymaps, and these take precedence over the
global keymap. This is explained (a bit) on page "Keymaps" in the Emacs
manual, and explained much more thoroughly on the page "Keymaps" in the
Elisp manual.
Be aware that the CC Mode bindings for '(' and '{' have "electric"
action: they optionally trigger things like (re)indentation of the
current line, when appropriate. This is explained in the CC Mode manual
on the page "Electric Keys". If you rebind these keys, you will lose
this electric action.
