There is no undocumented behaviour, many parts of Gtk and GLib require a
mainloop to function properly, GtkRecentManager is one of them and
sending/receiving signals is another.
A timeout is necessary (or any other way to schedule something) as
calling Gtk.main is a blocking operation.

You could do that but it relies, imo, on implicit behaviour that if no
higher tasks are running it should quit. My approach would be that you
explicitly call Gtk.main_quit when you are done processing the files.
Modifying my on_timeout function it would look something like below.
Notice also the usage of GFile [1]
def on_timeout(manager, files):
for path in files:
f = Gio.File.new_for_path(path)
exists = f.query_exists()
if exists:
res = manager.add_item(f.get_uri())
print(res)
Gtk.main_quit()
My timeout was five seconds, but it could be one milliseconds so it has
no noticeable delay when you run it.
