I agree that normal flight should not encounter these conditions. Although, does it actually check for air speed before activating MCAS?

As I understand it, no. But airspeed, actually Mach, is an input to the calculation of how much nose down to apply. I.e. the higher the speed, the less trim change is needed to achieve the desired effect.
