An extension request by paying through EFTPS is a valid way to get an extension, and is one of the quickest and easiest ways. At the EFTPS website you have to flag it as an extension payment as the reason for paying, which I assume you did. It can also be done easily at the IRS Direct Pay website for those who do not have an EFTPS account.
I assume you entered your extension payment into your return prior to filing so you got credit for it. If entered correctly, the extension payment should show up on Schedule 3, Line 10, and should also be included in the figure showing on your Federal Form 1040, Line 31.
