Is this the correct procedure?

Speaking ASA
I don't think so. Since there is no reference as to where the catcher was throwing the ball, but the OP made mention of the running lane, I am assuming the throw was toward 1B. Rule book specifically states that a batter retired on strikes running toward 1B is NOT interference based on doing so to to draw a throw.
Unless there was a possible play on R1, I think you just have a DMC.
