  Sortof? I think keyboards on smartphones are an example: they tend to resemble regular, physical desktop keyboards, rather than just a grid of letters. It seems like that's the main reason for the 'A' to be offset from the 'Q'. (Whereas, say, a Blackberry's keyboard was a grid of keys; and entering the symbol mode of smartphone keyboards is also a grid).

  Not quite? Skeuomorphism is the usage of design elements that in the past were necessary. Many people know the word now due to the UI interface trend in the early 2000s. Skeuomorphism has meaning outside of UIs though. You can see it in your daily life. Common examples are laminate doors that have fake joinery, rivet patterns on a ceramic flower pot, or the lattice of a French window.
