Yes, this will work fine. If you can properly measure it, your logic is sound.
I've done the procedure myself, and while yes - it requires you to stand on your head and say beetlejuice 3x, ultimately it's still an "estimation" as it is virtually impossible to get the car perfectly level - and they give you a +/- degrees you need to shoot for.
Also, a side tip - when you do it this way, only jack up the front of the car. If you have it level, you won't actually be able to put enough fluid in through the fill hole.
