I don't know about the STS-V, but on the 2009 CTS-V this action provides enough power to the key so it can be recognized while plugged in, but does not recharge the battery. The manual says:

If the transmitter battery is weak, the DIC may display
Electronic Key Not Detected when you try to start
the vehicle. To start the vehicle, place the transmitter in
the center console storage area transmitter pocket
with the buttons facing to the front of the vehicle. Then,
with the vehicle in P (Park) or N (Neutral), press the
brake pedal and the ignition control knob. See Starting
the Engine on page 2-34, for additional information
about the vehicle’s electronic keyless ignition with push
start. Replace the transmitter battery as soon as
possible.
