Yes, and no. It could be that the oil is cold. If I turn my oil pump with a drill motor, an SAE 10w-30 wasn't really visible a few months ago. However, I could see some, just nothing really positive or not because I didn't carefully observe it before the valve cover was off. That was t-shirt...
You can always check that oil has made it to the top of the engine by seeing oil make it to the rocker arms, if you don't have a working oil pressure on the dash.
