I believe so but I'm not an authority on this part.  Note that removing the dovecot.* files has other side effects, like making your clients re-download all the messages again, and losing any keywords.

If you instead just remove the X-Spambayes-Trained header (and any other headers that might have been added after delivery) from the affected messages (using, e.g., sed), you might be able to skip step 3.
