Yes, Geany has a binding for sending the SCI_ASSIGNCMDKEY message but it
isn't used anywhere.  All you need to do is write code to read the settings
and shove them into Scintilla.*

Just guessing what the XML means, but Ids look ok, see Geany source
sciltilla/include/Scintilla.h

To be compatible with the rest of Geanys config files it would be best to
use a GKeyfile format instead of Notepads XML to store the settings.
