Yes.

OpenSSL generates PEM-encoded files by default, so that's what you
have unless you used the -outform DER option, in which case they're
DER-encoded.  keytool should be able to determine the encoding in any
case, so just use what you have.

It's not required; I'm just in the habit of including it since it's
usually what I mean in our case.  See
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/keytool.html for
details.
