I would say yes, he has. There are 3 levels to hero questing:

1. You are part of the faceless mob that accompanies the gods. You return having learned a feat/affinity.
2. You are one of the leading followers of the gods. You return having learned a more powerful ability.
3. You are the god. You do the thing. You gain the big power.

IMO every initiate/devotee does a level 1 hq to learn the affinities of his god. You new Arvanshagor devotee did hq to Three-Dragon-Fall and was a spearman in Alakoring's warband. He flew with Alakoring and saw how the hero slew the Diamond Storm Dragon. He helped his god by being there.
