As long as the sire of those Cross hens is the Ameraucana Rooster then they would inherit their only id+ gene

thats because Ameraucanas do have the id+ sex linked dermal booster weather they are Black or not

Blue/Black Ameraucana is enough to produce the results you are looking for, the good thing about Ameraucanas is that they carry the pea comb and beards that means that the Test Cross can be sold as Easter Eggers if need be without people actually thinking they are purchasing Cemani type birds

Both the Chinese Silkie and Ayam Cemani have been bred for thousands of years for their black skin/meat/face, recent genetic studies have confirm that they share the same mutation and give it a date of around 9000 years ago(well before the chicken domestication event) Reference: The origin and...
