Check fuel pressure or cycle the ign key a few times for @3 sec between off & run then try to start.

Is this procedure used to prime the fuel system/fuel rails?

Yes it will pressurize your sys,but all i did initially was turn the key to listen for the pump then i started. Just one time.

My fuel pump went out at about 140K. Symptoms were the same, cranks but would not start. The fuel rail did not have pressure, I was able to temporarily get the fuel pump going again by having the key in the run position, then rapping on the gas tank with a hammer near the fuel pump to get it unstuck. It was enough to get me home and to a repair shop to install a new fuel pump. At 200K, still going strong.
