Yes, that's the key for to avoid long lines at immigration when arriving and departing. However, it doesn't help "occasional" visitors that can't be bothered with lining up for the registration (lining up for the re-reg of my new passport took almost an hour last month!). Moreover, you cannot avoid the long lines at security. Together with ICN, HKG is some of the worst airport for "premium" passangers in Asia.
