Yes.  It would be unusable otherwise.  Default keybindings are Mod1+F9
to create a new workspace and Mod1+n (where n is a number) to go to
workspace n.

I usually set up one workspace divided vertically in two (and maybe the
left pane then divided horizontally) and another 3 or 4 workspaces
fullscreen.  Given that Ion lets you stack multiple frames (as opposed
to having overlapping frames) and that it remembers your set-up between
sessions, I tend to forget the keybindings for creating and resizing
frames;)

PWM is also highly keyboard friendly.
