Not really because you are still manually shifting the gear lever and pressing the clutch. The only thing you aren't doing is blipping the throttle during downshifts. So it takes the place of a driver learning how to heel-toe downshift which is first step of learning how to drive efficiently/smoothly. I learned it 20yrs ago and now I cannot stop doing it even if I tried. In fact, i finally got myself to stop double-clutching every downshift recently. It was a habit ingrained from of a year of driving a synchro-less dog box in my WRX.
