Skip,

Yes, it does follow the keying when in QSK. If it did not, the KPA500 would not follow the K3(s) in QSK mode (the KPA500 connection uses the KEYOUT-LP from the ACC connector).
The T/R switching is all electronic and can be quite fast.

If the amplifier uses relay switching, the relay may not be able to follow the K3(S).

Related question:  Does KEY OUT essentially follow the TX state?  IAW, if PTT or VOX is asserted, it also asserts?  If so, I guess that means that it follows the keying when in QSK?  It's a real PITA to get to the back of my K3 right now or I'd check it myself.
