No, its doesn't

If you fix something today, and submit a reinclusion request tomorrow, I don't think it will work.

if you fix things over 2-3 months, and then submit a reinlcusion request, google may well have already decided that something you fixed 6 weeks prior, was enough for the penalty to be automatically removed, at some point down the track.

By submitting the recinlusion request, google may well wave the period still left on the penalty.
