No, there isn't the default keyboard shortcut for it other than pressing Alt and then follow pressing the displayed letters, but you may create that yourself:
File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Keyboard shortcuts: Customize…
Then in Customize Keyboard window in the Categories: box select the All Commands row, and in the Commands: box select InsertSectionBreak.
Then click in the field Press new shortcut key:, press some key combination (by your decision) and then click Assign button at the left bottom.

First, Microsoft documents ALL official keyboard commands and shortcuts supported by Word: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/keyboard-shortcuts-for-microsoft-word-on-windows-95ef89dd-7142-4b50-afb2-f762f663ceb2
Second, IF there is a keyboard shortcut for a given command in Word, hovering your mouse cursor over the command button will bring up the tooltip which will show you the relevant keyboard command.
So, taking that into consideration, the answer is "No" there is no keyboard command for inserting any of the various types of section breaks into Word.
However...
The entire Word UI is easily navigated by keyboard, including the break section.
So... press the ALT key to show the letter-key commands to access a given UI element in the ribbon. You'll see that P is for selecting the Layout ribbon tab, so tap P.
Next the elements on the Layout ribbon are marked by the letters necessary to access them, and B is for the Breaks section, and when you tap that
the Breaks menu opens and you'll see that keys N, O, E, and D are for the various types of section breaks.
So, putting it all together, pressing ALT P B (N, O, E, D) is an effective keyboard-only method for inserting the required section break.

@Atajera check if this works and either note this is the answer using the checkmark icon, or tell me that it isn't working.
