Would that work? Is it true that riding actually provide power to the cart so it can climb up ramps?

Not to my knowledge, no. But you can make a spiral of alternating impulse ramps and normal ramps... ie: each z-level of the spiral path contains one of each ramp type... and that will push the cart upward.

The cart was not filling because he was going to fast through the magma. Considering -150 is deep as hell to set up power for rollers, I might just use impulse ramp for the filling zone and dwarf riding to boost it up to the forges near surface.

As has been noted, impulse ramps won't push a filled magma cart up a ramp because the cart has to have 0 horizontal velocity at some point to be filled. A second cart coming up behind it will push it up, though.
