That will only prevent pinentry from grabbing the focus. You'd
probably want to add "pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses" to
the config file as well (obviously changing the path to the
appropriate directory), iirc pasting is disabled in the GUI varieties
shipped in the main trunk, so these will require some patching to
allow pasting of passwords (e.g. with password managers).

An alternative could be to check out --passphrase-fd in man gpg.
