The timeout is in millisecond and frequency is in seconds. The frequency
should be always greater that timeout.

Default timeout - 5000 ms
Default frequency - 60 s

Solution should be

sla monitor 1
 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 10.4.4.4 interface outside
  timeout 3000

Since the task doesn't ask for num of packets and frequency, you can leave
it as default. If the required timeout is greater than frequency then you
may need to configure the frequency.

Your solution is also correct unless the task has restriction on frequency
and num of packets.

But since you have mentioned "within 3 seconds" then the value should be
something less than 3000 ms. May be 2500 ms.

If the timeout should be 3000 ms, then the task should be like  "if the ASA
doesn't get reply by 3 secs, then the backup route should be installed."
