I just did this on my own machine which hadn't received the unwanted download yet. I also revoked all permissions on the "OptGuideOnDeviceModel" folder, preventing its contents from even being enumerated.
That said: as Chrome hadn't downloaded the file in the first place, it's impossible to tell whether this is a sound solution or not. The continued absence of the model file isn't really evidence.
And, Google could just change where they store it anyway.

So, probably do the Registry thing as well.
