Yes, but one issue is that you could be pressured into pairing the device. Or someone can brute force the passcode to access the pairing UI.
The slides mention a way to bypass pairing, but I don't think ever mentioned how.

Apple can boot the device over USB using a custom image that doesn't require the passcode. Other people can't because it needs to be signed with Apple's key in order to run.

Got it. But if you say "don't allow pairing" they're SOL from a software perspective? I find that hard to believe... but either way, who knows really.
