Does including the license in the distribution satisfy the requirement?

I wouldn't think so (you'd need wording like "I agree to distribute source code to you on request to <address>"), but I doubt it's been challenged - it's an obscure use case of the GPL.

Not that obscure; lots of hardware vendors use Linux in their routers/TVs/tablets/phones/etc and distribute the sources separately. In fact, every manufacturer of Android phones should have such an offer included with their device.
