Yes I guess that would do the trick.
If these meta tags are added to the post, then the post will show up in the website when any of these languages is selected, and without the website switching back to the default language (e.g. FR menus still displayed even tough the post is in English).
Again, the WPML docs mention a “translatable” attribute that lets you specify that a post will not be translated, resulting in the post showing up in the website no matter which language is selected. Haven’t tried it though…
