Keyboard maps which include "F keys mapped to media keys" in the description mean that the media keys (the top row of keys) are media keys without pressing an additional key. To use the media keys as function keys, you can press the overlay key + the media key.
 
  
−
Keyboard maps that do not include "F keys mapped to media keys" in the description require an overlay key + the media key to use the media key. Without an overlay key pressed, the media keys are function keys.
