Is this the correct way to penalize a lane violation on the first shot

You're 100% correct. (Assuming that the violation was because the shooter already had the ball.)
The administration of this violation is to not blow the whistle, or voice anything, but rather to let the shot continue as normal, but give the delayed free throw violation signal. If the shot misses, blow your whistle and say "lane violation, {colour and number}. Repeat how many shots are to be taken. If the shot goes in, continue with the next free throw and forget the delayed violation.
