Mikes book covers this, but from personal experience the game engine will look at the exported file(s) for the animation which is keyed and not driven by set driven keys. Each Engine will have to export information into different ways, its all what the engine requires...
Having just come off of an Indie Game Project all animation was in one scene, but most engines will require the standard set of animations:
Walk Cycle
Run Cycle
Idle
Jump
Attack
etc... etc... etc...
These cycles/animation would either have to be put into a specific order or detail which animation resides between which key frames. This then allows the programmers/scripters to alloy the correct animation sequence to the correct key stroke or not as the case maybe.
Read Mikes book is not that big and is well worth the read for anyone moving or thinking of heading into the Games Industry.
