This looks good.  The "dump" field is used by dump(8) to determine whether
or not the file system should be backed up.  The "pass" field is used at
boot time to determine what order to run fsck(8) over the file systems.  I
leave both of these set to "0" for MSDOS partitions, but you can set dump if
you want it to get backed up.
