Nope, you just misunderstood the rule.

What you write between [...] does not use the same syntax as what's
written in "..." (and neither is the same as what's written in (kbd
"...")).

E.g. instead of the above, you want

   (global-set-key [?\r]       'newline-and-indent)

Similarly [M-SPC] should be [?\M-\s]
