Yes. What you have is a machined surface covered with clear lacquer. Putting paint onto that won't last and you will clearly see it as there's no build up of primer/undercoat etc.
The damage you have is much less than what I had on my M3 diamond cut wheels. After wet sanding it won't be as noticeable as you'll smooth out the rough edges. The only way to get it perfect is to get the whole wheel refurbed on a diamond cutting lathe.
If you get very fine grit emery paper and wetsand it, following the direction of the rim then you'll smooth out the rough edges. It won't be perfect but it won't be noticebale from a distance.
Put it this way my M3 was leased and they didn't comment on the wheels after inspecting the car for hand over at the end.
EDIT - Just make sure you mask off the grey powder coated surface in the inside of the rim so you don't damage it when wet-sanding.
