You got it right.  Using your hand to hold the pedal is a technique
that racers use to get their foot in quicker.  Another method is to
learn to flick the pedal with your foot. (Actually you flick the 
pedal quill with your cleat.)  Anothe thing that you should learn
to do is to pedal  with the pedal upside down.  This way you can
pedal 4 - 6 pedal strokes before you try to put in your foot.  This
will lesson the chance of falling over when you put your foot in
the pedal
