Yes. The shaft has the key, and whatever you are attaching has a hole for the key.

if so, is the stock you buy already extruded with the keyway on it?

No, you have to make a key and have trench-like section removed from the shaft for the key.

I hope those answers were helpful. Let me know if you need clarification.
