Looking at the FDR traces it can be seen that this appears to be the case. I have drawn four green vertical lines to indicate the transitions from +g to -g and vice versa. In each case they appear to align with a change in the direction of movement of the sensor in the correct sense. Remember that the data consists of discrete samples and we do not know the sample rate and I am assuming that any small discrepancies are due to errors introduced by the sampling.
You may be on to something. There are some other data points to consider:
The Left AOA divergence begins at 05:38:45 right as the Vertical Acceleration hits a new positive maximum in the climb.
At 05:41:22, that divergence is reduced just a little bit as the Vertical Acceleration hits a new low.
