Well, I used to move the yoke (not that much the control column though) on 747 the same way in gusty conditions. I was not reacting on the bank change, but rather on the tendency of the change, barely visible. It prevents the aircraft from developing more bank. If you react later your wll be more visibly banking. And yes, on the conventionaly controlled aircraft you have to immediately move the yoke in the opposite direction to stop it from going into deeper bank.
It’s more comlicated then the way you are discussing it here.
On FBW aircraft it’s whole different story.
