Merely resaving an image with a higher quality setting won't magically repopulate the high frequency coefficients, so I think this will still work in that case. Of course, if the image has gone through any sort of filtering or modification before being resaved, then all bets are off. But that's also beyond the scope of what the original poster asked for - he wanted a way to detect JPEG compression artifacts, not any extra filtering that might have also been applied.
