So I am assuming the powder , used for allowing the tube to move around and not wear a hole, is unnecessary?

Most people don't own tyre soap...
Dish soap has been used by tens of millions of people with no ill effect. I've used it loads of times and it's never corroded any of my rims. No more than others anyway. I suppose that they could contain salts which in an ideal world you would want to avoid but most people just get on with it.
I suggested WD40 as a last resort. However, I've had to use it myself many times when on the road or in a situation where others weren't available.
I've never had a tyre slip after using it and it can help in your situation if you didn't want to remove the wheel etc. I suppose it's possible that the tyre could slip if you run low pressures and didn't give it time to dry out over night.
