That's just the standard Emacs way of writing a key
binding.  `C-h k' and `C-h b' use the same syntax.
`describe-keymap' does nothing special here.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.  But see
above.  There's nothing special/different about how
`describe-keymap' lists key bindings.  It just shows
the key bindings of a keymap in human-readable form
(as opposed to what `C-h v' shows you for a keymap
variable).
