Yes. (sorry for not being clear)
Whether enter commits the action in those cases depends on

In cases where you are unlikely to change every single option, it's still
much faster to handle it exactly like originally stated, and is why other
very popular graphics software applications use the convention. In
workflow, it makes sense to focus the dialog on the next likely action, so

And yet hitting Enter/Return key to commit/save is standard here too, which
is why there's a popup warning on overwrite in cases of overwriting a file.

accept filename completion in the first instance. You can't undo
overwriting a file on most file systems...

From personal experience I'd say if using enter to commit changes
hasn't messed a production
database of an entire factory, then this should be less critical.
Ctrl-Enter is good designwise though. It gives less chance of mistake
keypress and is
easily accessible with just one hand.

Wait, what? Oh, I mean the third enter. Sorry, you're right, you have to
hit enter to confirm the option.
1st enter opens the combo box, 2nd enter confirms the selection. Third
enter commits.

You want to quickly apply the last Preset, and sure enough, hitting the
Enter/Return key after the dialog opens jumps to a preview of the last
