It will work like you visualise: but this configuration is not the best.
Get a switch and another network card for your gateway.

adsl/modem/whatever ----  gateway ---- switch ---- pc1
                                              |--- pc2
                                              |--- ...
Better security, easier to admin, harder to bypass, ...

Prioritising traffic is easy, but on a fast link that usually is not
fully loaded, it slows things down slightly - I use it, but am unable to
make my mind up thats it a real advantage or not on balance.
