This definitely, but at least now there is also the "late night HND arrival shuttle bus + overnight at Heiwajima Onsen + breakfast package" option at Heiwajima Onsen provided by the Keikyu Group, which has shuttle buses at HND at 23:40, 00:40, 01:50 and 05:00.

For 3800 JPY, it's not a bad deal to get a bath and breakfast to kill time until the trains start running again.
It's also not on the QR English page, but
QR has a Japanese "Welcome back to late night HND arrival campaign" for all passengers on QR812 DOH-HND (HND arrival 22:45) to reserve a free stay at Heiwajima Onsen. Perhaps AA can reach a similar deal as well.
