No they'll be desaturated.
AdobeRGB is a bit lopsided, and the larger corner is at green. It is also a
larger space in general than sRGB. So opening into AdobeRGB (no conversion)
rather than sRGB (no conversion) will give you a file where the same color
number is considered to mean a more saturated color, especially if that color
is a green. Opening into sRGB is only a better option if the camera in
question is targeted to sRGB (and a number of them are); if it is well
targeted to AdobeRGB, then opening raw into that space would be appropriate.
With the Olympus E-10 I find this method to be as good as, and nearly
identical to, using a custom camera profile.
