Yes, but my intuition doesn’t find obvious the jump from open-one to leave-two. These options feel at least equally noteworthy and nothing hints which one you should use.

And that is true no matter how many doors he opens, if it's a fixed nonzero number. If you ask yourself "at what point did the odds stop being 1 in 100", the answer is obviously not "when he opened the last door out of many" or "midway through opening the many doors", so it has to be when he opened the very first door. And if opening the first door out of 90+ changes the odds, it's hard to see a reason why opening the first door out of 1 wouldn't change the odds.
