Yes.

Meta.KeyBindingFlags is documented (poorly) in at
https://developer.gnome.org/meta/3.8/meta-Preferences.html#MetaKeyBindingFlags.
In short:
- NONE: normal global keybindings (switch-workspace, toggle-message-tray, ...)
- PER_WINDOW: keybinding applies to a window (maximize, minimize, ...)
- REVERSES: keybinding can be "reversed" by pressing shift (alt-tab,
ctrl-alt-tab, ...)
- IS_REVERSED: as REVERSES, but binding start "backwards" (not used by default)

Shell.KeyBindingMode is indeed missing from the documentation, but
hopefully the code comments[0] are clear enough.
