Yes, learning to use more counter steering than just that which comes subconsciously is very useful. It's actually not difficult to learn, because it makes things feel more secure.
I used to be able to power steer (slide rear end) on my old slab-side GSXR750 on certain bends too, but then started thinking about what-ifs and gave it up - not the most sensible thing to be doing on the road, and I wouldn't really have the confidence to try it now anyway.
I also agree that whilst in any given corner, you want a bit of throttle, however little, rather than be off throttle. I apply this to driving a cage too. It helps with grip and keeping control of things.
