Yes, that method works:
 loginctl show-session 1 -p Type
Type=wayland

If you installed it using standard methods, then gnome-session-wayland
is not being installed yet

sudo zypper in gnome-session-wayland

should be all you need to switch though

PS: there are issues with 'suid apps' like YaST and gparted, that are
not yet fully integrated and fixed. Wayland's default is not to allow
anybody but the user connect to the display server.
