Yes. Correct!
It took me a while to solve it and admittedly a process of elimination on the original site. I would have solved it quicker some years back when I played now and then. Haven't played for a couple of years probably but picked up the board again a couple of days ago, hence, this puzzle.

Btw I saw elsewhere a second 2-move solution to the puzzle.

1.Rxe6+ ... Kxe6
2.Qf7+ (checkmate).
