Those instructions should be fine. It really is that simple with conda. :-)

If you're interested in the cartridge things may be a bit more complicated.
I haven't done a Mac build of the RDKit cartridge using conda yet (I seem
to remember hitting a snag or two when I tried) and I'm not sure if that
would work with the homebrew postgresql install. Once you have the RDKit
building on your system, it's "easy" to add the cartridge build, but that's
probably not what you want to hear. ;-)

I'll try and take a look at doing a conda build of the cartridge on the Mac
early next week (I'll be in the mountains this weekend) and get back to you.
