Yes , you are correct. I ran some short lengths of 3/16" brake line and coiled them to allow for any movement which could take place, then plumbed in the residual pressure valve . The residual pressure valves are recommended to be installed as close to the master cylinder as possible.
Doing it the way that you did allows room for the residual valves. With the typical stock setup, it doesn't seem like it would be easy to install the residual valves without modifying the coiled lines from the master cylinder. Just my observation. I might be wrong.

Yup, Installing the residual valves in the stock curly brake lines would necessitate cutting the brake lines & installing new nuts & re-flaring , then install the residual presssure valves. I used Ni-Copp (Nickel / Copper) brake lines as they are much easier to bend and flare
