Yes, that's correct. In the Personal Info section of TT, be sure you indicate that you had "Other State Income" from NY. This will prompt the program to produce the NY non-resident return. I suspect you forgot to do this when you filed your original return.
Complete the non-resident NY return before you do the amended NJ return, so that the program can correctly calculate and apply the "other state credit."
Double check both returns for accuracy before you submit them.
