No I don't think that is correct.

I have recently had to do a few scores where I had to add Trumpet Cues to an
Oboe part and this is how I did this.
First I set up my Cue for the trumpet
TrumpetMusic = \transpose c bes {
\relative c' {
a4. | ais | b | c! | cis | c!
}
}
\addQuote "TrumpetMusic" { \TrumpetMusic }
Then I simply add this to my main score when I need it
OboeMusic = { ..lots of music here...
\new Voice \relative c'' {
\set Score.quotedCueEventTypes = #'(note-event rest-event tie-event
beam-event slur-event)
\cueDuring #"TrumpetMusic" #UP { R1*6*3/8 }
}
..rest of music...
}
Then my score construct for the oboe part is
\relative c'' {
\OboeMusic
}
This gives me the oboe music in the correct key and transposes the trumpet
notes for the Oboe part correctly too.
I am not sure I completely answered your specific questions...but does this
help?
Often I get parts to write in the explicit key (not concert pitch) but if I did
get concert pitch only parts I would write them all out in the same pitch and
then add the \transpose in the \score at the end for that part, but I don't
think that gets round the cue notes issue.
