Yes. It is the way to change it system wide for any applications the do not check the $PATH environment variable. 
And I think you meant ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist which is correct ;-)

I only change the environment in those two ways (shell vars and environment.plist) and have no problems. And if I want a specific Python, /usr/bin/python or /usr/local/bin/python finds the one I intend to access. Maybe some of the more sage members of this community have more detailed or better advice, but that's what I recommend from my experience.
