Not really. The path I described is for "insurance". It can be (and many times has been) done as you have.
BTW, just in case someone looks for the oil, it's PAG (short for PolyAklylene Glycol - try to say that three times fast). There's also another 134 oil listed as POE (if memory hasn't failed). R-12 uses mineral oil. There are some issues about mixing the various kinds, but generally PAG in the compressor works OK with the residual mineral oil in the rest of the system.
Here's a web page reference that outlines the issues (why flush, etc.) without the technical jargon:
