Yes, that should work equally fine.

It spares you having to setup the environment; it provides a cl.exe
wrapper that locates the SDK from the registry, and then invokes
the cl.exe in the SDK if necessary. As a consequence, you can still
just double-click the solution file, without having to run
devenv.exe/com manually.
