The idea is to provide ATs with appropriate hooks to enable navigation to the 4 quadrants of a webpage. Screen readers do this with landmark roles. Ctrl + Home and Ctrl + End are familiar examples using just the keyboard, and while they fall short of putting keyboard focus on top and bottom elements respectively, note the similar [enhanced] intent behind this request.

This could be achieved by marking up the desired regions using role="region" and giving each region an appropriate aria-label. So yes it can be done with ARIA.
