Yup, I would expect it to still work and that Amazon just saved the cost of buying a few million push buttons.
(When buying in lots of a million parts, even 0.1 cent adds up to real money in a hurry.)
Note: It will take a very steady pair of hands and some needle sized probes to connect to these pads - they are not very big.
Maybe someone with an open K3 can test if the reset pads still work (there might be a few other parts involved that are missing from the reset circuit - not just the missing button).
