Yes, it would. I've made a few models of these kinds of habitats, and they work best where the planetoid's gravity is very low and the rotational gravity of the habitat is much higher. I imagine a smallish asteroid with several spin-funnels arranged around the equator; the taper on the funnels would be so slight you'd hardly notice the difference.
At some point I intend to make a new article consolidating some of these concepts, since they are scattered throughout the EG and describe concepts that are only mildly different.
When I made this image, I realised that the effect of local gravity would be greater at the end closest to the asteroid, so the coning effect would need to be increased slightly at the lower end. But probably not much.
