Yes, I believe so. I'm not sure if there are other triggers that cause the 'Extras' to rescan the apps.
You have some other options besides rebooting. You can try an alternate Home screen such as
Zeam or
ADW. These have 'app drawers' which refresh more frequently. If you do want to try these out, do install
Home Switcher so you can easily get back to the stock home screen or switch at will to try them out.
If you don't want to replace your home screen and want to avoid a reboot, there are some apps that you can launch to list and organize apps that refresh more frequently. An option is Google's "
Gesture Search", which doesn't list them per se, but allows you to search your device, including apps, by drawing letters on the screen. E.g. draw an 'S' with your finger and it will find apps with an 'S' in their name, starting with ones that start with S. I think it learns which ones you pick more often, too.
