Yeah, you COULD do that, but I would still connect ground (black wire) on the PWM cable to the blue wire (if for no other reason than mechanical robustness of the PWM cable). Technically the PDB and DSG share a common ground, but there are slight differences that may give you weird effects. I would connect the ground to the DSG as well just to be on the safe side.
