Yes that back bleeding is the easiest to get the air out and fill it with new fluid.

The first time I bled the brake pumping and releasing from the brake caliper, no matter how much I pumped and released very little air came out so JR told me the way he did his by taking the cover off the master cylinder and pumping slowly and walk away and wait awhile before pumping again, (little by little bubbles started to surface) it was a slow process, but it did work the second set of brakes I put on, I found a easier way ;D took the old brakes off and open up the caliper just enough to get the pad in and it worked great, no bleeding those brakes.
