You're confused here. Their GOM might require two pilots, but GOM is not an approved document. Which "Operations Specs" are you referring to?
For VFR flights, it does not fulfill the meaning of 61.51(f), because the SIC is not required by regulation or type certificate, unless they have the SIC development program in place. For IFR they can log it for passenger carrying legs, as long as the PIC has not completed an 135.297(g) check.
The only way they can legally log SIC time is if they have 139.99(c) program in place. An SIC also cannot log any time legally for flights operated VFR.
