Yes, if the ball is deflected there can be no roughing/running into the kicker penalty. Also, if the punter drops the snap there can be no penalty.
The only time the offense would decline that penalty, would be if the resulting play advanced them more than 15 yards down the field. Either way, they would have a first down.
Roughing the passer, defensive pass interference, offsides
If the quarterback were to drop kick he would become a kicker and not a quarterback. The roughing the quarterback penalty would change to roughing the kicker.
