Yes. By default pressing i.e. F11 would create F11, Fn+F11 would be vol+.
With this option set, the default for F11 would be vol+ and Fn+f11 would
be F11.

Perhaps this description would be better?

  Configure the keyboard layout to invert the Fn key. By default the
  function row of the keyboard inputs function keys (i.e F11) when
  Fn is not pressed. With this option set, pressing the key without
  Fn would input media keys (i.e. Vol-Up). Firmware may (...)

I was trying to be unambiguous with this name without making
it too long. The implied meaning of "on-top" was "On the top
keyboard layer" (in the opposition of the "Fn" layer). Perhaps
"acer,media-keys-on-top-layer" would have been better then?

I was trying to define this property via the word "media"
since using "fn" is somewhat ambiguous (fn row key vs F(1..12) key
vs Fn key), and something like `inverted-fn-key" would not reflect
what is the impact on the layout. Using "fn-selects-function-keys"
also felt a bit ambiguous to me.

FWIW I can also invert the default and make it
"fn-selects-media-keys" which would be clear. I haven't yet
written the firmware that would pass this property from the
setup so it shouldn't be a problem from the DT POV, but this
is not the "reset" default for the EC.

Do any of those suggestions sound better to you?
