That seems reasonable to me, since the state of the zone file after the transaction is indeed the state which would be expected, had the host been present and deleted. If you need to ensure that there actually was a change to the state of the zone, you could specify a prerequisite in your transaction file, insisting that the RRset or label of interest is present before deletion.
