How do you use this?

This is perfectly correct. I'd like to add, if you would like to remove the job, you use

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.domain.whatever.plist

If you would like to remove the job permanently you should also delete/move the file from that folder (or set the disabled key in the plist file to true, see the man launchd.plist for details). You should also unload and then load again if you modify the .plist file.
