Gigliotti, and I think Bonade, described their approaches to single lip as pulling the top lip back against the teeth, which simulates the position of the upper lip and soft palate in a double lip embouchure. The goal was (is) to get the advantages of double lip without the discomfort of having the lip under the upper teeth.
When Gigliotti recommended double lip to me as a grad student, it was to solve a biting problem I had developed, and he meant for me to learn the feeling of double lip and then replicate the same embouchure position with single lip (as he did). But I found - still find - that sooner or later I revert to biting when I go back to single lip, so I've learned to prefer double for general use.
So, yes what you're doing may very well have the effect you describe. If it works...
