Yes this will log in the log file that will be seen pgbadger report under locks section. We can also mention deadlock_timeout and max_locks__per_transaction.

pgBadger can only collect what is in the log file. How would you get that information into the log file? The best you can get in the log file is the information from "log_lock_waits = on", which is information about situations where somebody had to wait for a lock for more than a second. Definitely useful, but capturing "pg_stat_activity" snapshots will provide more infrmation.
