Yes, this is the exact purpose. Rather then needing to open the packaging and then repackage it anew, you can just plug in a usb cable and update. Even allows distributors in places away from the factory to update if they choose to do so. Also, to charge it up some if its been sitting on a shelf for a long time.

There is normally a small little plastic plug thing to close it in, but sometimes that can fall off during shipping.

You don't really need to have access to the power buttons or any keys provided the system is working. The update doesn't need access to anything except the USB port for the update to succeed.
