No, one cannot use this method to sync from debian new queue.
requestsync / syncpackage tools only work against debian mirror in
launchpad, thus a package needs to be available at:

http://launchpad.net/debian/+source/$srcpackage

to be available for sync. This is usually within hours the package is
available from the debian uk mirror.

Please note uploading directly into ubuntu, will also result in NEW
queue processing, with processing times often longer than debian NEW
processing as there is even less people available for reviews (in
particular for packages that should go into debian first). Generally
packages should clear debian's new queue and only then get synced into
ubuntu.
