OK my original question must have lacked a bit of the necessary clarity.
I was not asking if /etc/openvpn specifically was required. I was asking
if openvpn would need to access the config files (whatever I may choose
to name them) after the tunnel is up? Can I bring the tunnel up and then
make all the config files and keys disappear (by, for instance,
unmounting the filesystem they are on)? Will the instance of openvpn
that supports the tunnel in question need access to the config files or
keys at some later point in the life of that tunnel?

Thanks and sorry if I have managed to obscure my intended meaning again,

Dave
