No, question marks only mean that the value can take null (literally). By definition, all of a dictionary's members are optional. Here's the relevant text from WebIDL [1]:
"A dictionary value of type D can have key-value pairs corresponding to the dictionary members defined on D and on any of D's inherited dictionaries. ***On a given dictionary value, the presence of each dictionary member is optional.*** When specified in the dictionary value, a dictionary member is said to be present, otherwise it is not present. Dictionary members can also optionally have a default value, which is the value to use for the dictionary member when passing a value to a platform object that does not have a specified value. Dictionary members with default values are always considered to be present."
