No, it depends on the command.  Some, for example, expect keys to be stored in 
the ENGINE (presumably an HSM).
The docs are often outdated.  But pem/der is the majority of choices.

The right thing to do is change opt_format to be generic, and specify exactly 
which types of formats are supported.
