That is exactly how I calculate them as well. You won't have time to be exact when you are at the table (unless you are Jesus Ferguson) so a close approximation is good enough. An example is:
You hold KQo and the flop comes J 10 6 rainbow.
You have an OESD and you think pairing up either of your hole cards will also win the hand, therefore you have 14 outs. You will now hit your hand approx. 56% of the time on either the turn or the river, so you can call just about any bet in limit poker as the implied odds make this a profitable call.
If you miss your outs on the turn you now drop to approx. 28% to win the hand and will now need roughly 4 to 1 odds to make the call.
