I think so - I struggle to read things like that, but the Am one is definitely right and the others will just be position shifts, so yeah, I think it's OK.

The main thing to work on is how the shapes fit together - over time it kinda burns into your brain so you just know where you can go from a certain point on the neck without hitting a bum note.

To use the Am one as the example, the third fret position scale is the 'A' shape, fifth fret is 'G', and so on to 'CAGED'. The CAGED thinking repeats in other areas too, so it's worth getting your head around. you'll notice you can build chords and arps with the shapes, and the modal stuff is very similar when you get there too...
