Yush! That's how it basically is.

Well Kaneki putting trust in Ayato is exactly because of the reasons you mentioned. He knows from their last fight that he actually wants to protect Touka & deducing the fact he feels some affection towards Hinami, would be enough to ask this off him. Even if there's no trust between the Kaneki & Ayato, with those above reasons there is no need to, since that was Ayato's intention from the start.

The other reason for Kaneki saying that to Ayato seems to let him know, that they are on good terms from Kaneki's perspective. And since Kaneki was aiming at dying, that message was probably meant as something like 'Can you take it over from me from here on out...?'. Not just saving them from this precarious situation, but also all through all the hardships that will come in the future.

That all in that tiny message :)
