That's the easiest/best way to do it, and a well know method.
Because the trapped air rises in the fluid, the run of the rear brake line means that the "peak" in the line always holds the air, making it very difficult to bleed.

Taking the caliper off and holding it higher than anything else means that all the air will naturally head in the direction that you are bleeding the fluid.
