Interesting, I wondered about the validity of this "test"

So really the only way to know for sure if you have common mode noise on
the coax, is to put a filter in place?

No. With the shield disconnected, the antenna is different -- if there's
an effective choke at the top, it's now a long wire ending at the choke,
because the shield and the center are capacity-coupled together. And if
there's no choke at the top, it's a top-loaded long wire.
