I believe with most motors you are correct, the rpm's have to be up enough to generate enough amps to charge the batteries. So what you are asking is yes, short runs at something above idle will probably be charging. So not a matter of it working. I think what you're really asking though is whether on smaller bodies of water whether there will be enough of these short runs to help much. I don't think anyone can answer that completely but I'm quite certain that it will assist somewhat even if it is simply charging the batteries back up a little on the run back to the access, putting a little charge in them in case you can't get to electricity and a standard charger for a bit.
