I don't agree. That inertia-effect acts on such a small scale that the oil in that small area around the hole speeds up very fast and has almost immediate effect. I'm sure that if you would measure the force the damper resists to a sudden fast compression like a landing, the piston will always need to move a small distance before the maximum pack-force is achieved. On a 1/10 shock I would estimate between 1 and 5 mm, depending on hole size and aggressiveness of compression.
