I think it could. you can pass a keyboardlayout with the -k <layoutfile> parameter
or change it in vim /etc/brltty.conf
section:
# Keyboard Settings #

https://github.com/brltty/brltty/tree/master/Tables/Keyboard
https://github.com/brltty/brltty/blob/master/Documents/README.KeyTables

If i understand it correct the braille layout is just the default

cheers chrys
