Depends on the user agent.

What doesn't depend on the user agent is, as currently specified,
there is no way for origin-B to request access to key-A from origin-A.
Nor is there, as currently specified, a way for origin-A to grant
access to key-A to origin-B proactively (eg: during generation).

Absent any collusion of the user agent, yes.
