That's the correct way.

Also note: you can use the range filter for numbers as well. The
numeric_range filter is intended for fields (numbers, dates, terms) that
have many many unique values. It works by building a field cache (ie
loading all values for the field into memory). It may be the right
filter to use for (eg) timestamp > yesterday. But if your use case is
(eg) age > 18, then you'd be better off using a range filter.
