On the 4.2 yes not sure about the 5.2
Unfortunately no.
It doesn't help. RS4 owners have to see this as a maintenance item from this point forward. I suggest every 25K miles.

This particular car had 62K miles. It is the one of the worst buildup we've seen, def. in top two.

Kai, thanks for documenting and posting photos so well. As being a former B7 RS4 owner myself, I witnessed firsthand this infamous "carbon build-up" as well as teh interwebz debacle that ensued.
People were distressed about the cost of repairs, but honestly once you drive and own an RS4 you begin to appreciate it for what it is...even if it does have some not so minor flaws.

This RS4 is in for other things as well.
