"So my approach is correct and won't yield incorrect/inaccurate forms for AMT or otherwise?
Yes.
But of course, (and this goes without saying, even though I'm saying it anyway), before you send off your income tax return you review all the Forms and Schedules that comprise your income tax return, including Form 6251, and verify that everything's correct. You know what number should show up in this instance, so make sure it's the number that does show up.
