I thought it was kind of an arcade game type gimmick at first, but I really grew to like it!
To answer the original question, the answer is actually YES despite what everybody else has said.

Its not a big deal really, all it does is run the engine on the max power 'full rich' setting - which is the same as setting the fuel trim knob to 'full rich' ( which most people run nearly all the time anyway ). So if you are cruising around with the mixture leaned out to save fuel, you can press the Overtake button to briefly go full rich if an overtaking opportunity arises rather than have to rotate the mixture knob back to the full rich setting.
