If you haven't already required package.el then M-x
package-refresh-contents will not be visible.
It seems like it would be reasonable to want to refresh the package list
before performing any other package-related operations, so perhaps an
autoload cookie should be added?

I think the intention is to use it via `r' in after M-x list-packages.

That's one way to do it, but I personally find it more convenient to
use M-x package-install if I already know the name of the package. I
only use M-x list-packages when I'm browsing or I've forgotten what a
certain package is called. In this case it's pretty common to want to
refresh first.

Fair enough. I've added the autoload.
