Question V-22 and VRS. A question

The USMC has stated that if the V-22 enters a VRS situation it can be easily corrected by tilting the rotors 15 degrees which they state takes about 2 seconds.

My question for the experts is, can the V-22 encounter VRS while in a hover and especially in a moderate headwind? My reason for asking is what happens if the V-22 enters VRS while making a hoist pick-up over water or land where it must maintain a fixed position.
