It should, really.

Don't klnow, other then the archives of ssleay/openssl.
In short: DER is an encoding scheme for ASN1. PEM (at least in the
sence wrongly used in SSLeay/OpenSSL means only: "Do a base64 conversion
and wrap each line at 72 chars and wrap the whole text with BEGIN and
END lines containign a hint what is in it." For the real meaning of PEM
you can ask RFC 1421ff. with updates in the 2000s (a rfc index will
tell you which RFCs are superseeded.)
