That all looks right. Note also that the installer should have added it 
to your PATH, so if you type:

python

at a command prompt, you should get it.

Using the Python.org binary is a good idea, as you get an up to date 
version, can re-distribute binaries (via py2exe) if you want, and most 
third party packages provide binaries for it (of at all).

good luck!
