I think the aim of the auxiliary pump is to get oil where there is none (overhead cams etc.) before the engine starts. There will probably be some residual film or whatever, but you cannot be sure it will last until the oil reaches it.
A thinner oil will reach those parts faster than a thick oil, but if the pump runs before the engine does those would be lubed immediately.
