Yes, the intention at the PDB sites is to make available a standalone validation server that will run exactly the same validation tests that have been introduced for recent depositions. My understanding is that this server is currently being tested and will be rolled out to the community sometime in the new year once they're confident that it is stable.
The motivation is exactly as you say: to save time for both the depositors and the annotators, and to improve the quality of the deposited structures!
