Does canDO+ allow me to make an action from what would then be a "custom" message?

That is the process for the vast majority of CAN messages, yes. And your custom message becomes part of your Actions database, exactly as you say.
There are hundreds of messages per second on the bus, so using canSPY, you would start recording the "chatter", which adds the devices to a blacklist, so you can more easily narrow down the events you're looking for. Once you figure out a specific ID for a device, the simplest approach is to whitelist that ID and focus only on those messages.
