> I had the idea that part of the documenting process is being able to document how the game "plays", for which you need to be able to emulate at full speed. Am I wrong?

NOPE ! MAME first purpose is to document/emulate the hardware on which the games run, and this has nothing to do with speed ...

Now, in some drivers I've worked on, you might find some infos about the games native assembly code, telling you some ingame bugs, hidden/debug features, differences between clones, and such useful things ... And for something like this, you sometimes don't even need to see the game (who spoke about old H*ze WIP drivers ?

), a DASM file might be enough ...
