Yep, exactly - the form can't figure out what button was pressed.
There's no magic way for JSF to automatically know what is meant
by the "default button".

ADF adds a "defaultCommand" property to af:form, so you can have:

<af:form defaultCommand="okButton">
...
<h:commandButton id="okButton" value="OK"/>
...
</af:form>

... and it does the Javascript magic needed to map Enter
to that button.
