Yes.  The current cron job is a bit too heavy weight to run it often,
but hopefully someone can tweak it so that it looks at what has changed
to decide which packages to rebuild (instead of rebuilding the world
every time).

It's described in elpa/packages/README.

The cron job is run once per day, so you may have to wait up to 24h.
Also, the cron job may fail if the copyright lines aren't right.
