If it's important for you to have that skill, then by all means work on it. Any practice that heightens your ability to refine your ears, like interval training, is a plus.
Personally, I never felt the urge or need on guitar to be able to reproduce an internalized melody "on the spot", like you mention.
What I have at the start is a rough sketch, and then I work at filling in the background and fine print. For me, that takes time and reflection. More like hunt and peck, as Stanron mentioned.
Sounds like you have a different mind set on that, which is just as valid. The goal in the end is the same, to make good music worth listening to.
