For example slowboating from one planet to another and waiting a long time. This is entirely possible. Grid change is different than session change. For example, if you undock your ship and point it in a random direction, eventually the security guns/other people around the station will disappear from your overview. Similarly, if you turn around, eventually they would show up again. This works for anything within a system, it's only moving between systems that requires a session change. Unfortunatly the explanation you provided doesn't prove the point. It may work that way or just just continue flying through empty space even if you flew in the right direction and have passed the right distance, because maybe loading the other enviornment (for example the planet you want to reach) is only triggered by warping. As long as no one proves this by trying out only the devs can answer this, but they don't seem to want to 
Its kinda a moot point. Why? Because lets just say you did try, this means that if it took 3 months to get from a planet to a moon slow boating, or hell, lets just say it will take 3 days (I an not gonna do the math, this is just an example, sue me) Once a day you will be forced to log out due to DT. When you log back in, you will be forced to warp. So, in theory, even IF the grid will not show unless you warp, on the third day when you arrive, you will have to log back in eventually and thus will be forced to warp.
But as has been said by a lot of people, warping is not a session change. And when you move off and on grids things show up and vanish. Thus not warping, it should be possible, given no downtime, to eventually slow boat from one body to another. you just can't say slow boat from jita to perimeter without using a gate. Perimeter will never 'spawn' for you
