I believe that's it. I remember having to make that same alteration. I believe the WebStack version of Apache is rather secure by default, in that content being served from any directory other than the /opt/coolstack/apache2/htdocs folder is denied by default first (default apache is allow,deny if memory serves).
You have to put in a directive which permits content to be served from the userdir. If you use the included /extra/httpd-userdir.conf file (uncomment it in httpd.conf), this directive is already made for you (as opposed to just adding the "UserDir public_html" as you have done).
