Yes, that's how it should be done.
Why auto-generated abstractions don't receive a loadbang autoamtically has been discussed several times in the past. I don't remember the reasons, but there were reasons.
So that objects may send messages to other objects through the wires, when the patch gets loaded. If it were done exactly at the time of object creation, then it would be too early, as the object wouldn't have been connected yet.
