I was looking at making a new rock structure with PVC holding shelf rocks -- I wanted to coat the visible bits of PVC with JB Water weld for aesthetics -- Will it hold to PVC?

Yes, but much easier if the PVC is dry when you apply it. You can even improve adherence by roughing up the service with sandpaper too.

Exactly what I was hoping to hear! Also good point about sanding the surface, that'll definitely help.
