That's certainly one way to do it.
This is one of those things where there are so many different (yet effective) ways to do it that it just get's ridiculous. I find that it's good to play around with different methods and find what works for you in different circumstances. For example, my current sensei likes to make sure uke has a bent elbow when you perform the tenkan and do the whole technique at shoulder height. It's a bit odd, but it seems to work and is very gentle.
