You can derive this only by the order in which the steps are described in the installation guide [1]. Localization comes
before creating the initramfs.
And because there is a keymap hook in mkinitcpio.conf [2] which is explained as:
"Adds the specified keymap(s) from /etc/vconsole.conf to the initramfs. If you use system encryption, especially
full-disk encryption, make sure you add it before the encrypt hook."

I do not remember that being a requirement.
When was this introduced and is it documented? (apologise for my indolence)
