If you can spin the rod while the bit is stationary, I believe the hole will self-centre.

This is only if you can hold the work centered on its axis, it's why 4 jaw chucks on lathes exist, to both hold something precisely centered, or to hold things off center and make holes/do work on them.

Yep. It should. I'm not telling you to mount the dowel and use the drill as a lathe, but I've seen it done.
