Yes, anything above the roof that blocks light/heat is going to help keep the building cooler, but a vented roof is also going to help keep it cooler, zinc oxide is a good reflector and radiates heat well so that on it's own should help keep the roof cool so I wouldn't bother with painting it as most of those paints are a zinc oxide.
