No. This case here is so when you empty the player, e.g. use ajax page nav to navigate away, we stop controlling the player. It is always paused when emptied, so this would just noop.
With media session api we give the website some control of providing a playback status we communicate to the user regardless of their implementation detail.
In theory they could even show media controls without ever using a HTML5 audio/video object (which we don't support as of now) purely using media sessions
