It does not specify the number of readiness minutes that can be not ready. I would be surprised if the MHD tune does not allow simulation of the post cat O2. If you have no CEL, you should be fine. If you have a CEL, an inspection station cannot legally pass you.

There is no inspection station trick to fake an OBD2 plug in. They can say the machine did not auto read the VIN and type it in manually and plug into a stock car instead but I know someone who was caught doing that, albeit in another state. The data is uploaded to the state and they have ways of spotting anomalies. Looking the other way on the visual inspection part (presence of cat) is where there is flexibility a shop can get away with.
