Sure it will.
In your valueChangeListener:
1) Update your model as needed (i.e. explicitly call any setters for
properties you need to change the value of).
2) Call refresh() from the wiki to update input components with the new
values. Do this only if needed, as it will replace anything the user has
entered with the model values. It's mainly useful on events that load
new data.
3) Call skipValidation() to bypass the validations, including "required"
What is it that you are trying to do where this pattern isn't sufficient?

Well, I need to update my form with new data as a result of that value change,
so as far as I can tell, using this skipValidation

Bjorn,
Put a method like this in some utility class in your web tier java code:
public static void skipValidation() {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
context.renderResponse();
}
Then you can call skipValidation() in your valueChangeListener method.
You may notice that input components are not updated with model values
that may have changed as a result of your immediate methods. If you,
this article [1] may be of use to you as well.
