Yes, That will work.
If you have MPLAB installed you will have better luck using MPASM as the assembler.

In Micro Code on the tool bar click "View" and then "Comple and Program Options".
Under the "Assembler" tab, check the box "Use MPASM" and then click the button "Find Automatically".

Now when you compile, Micro Code will use MPASM to build the hex file. Then use the PICKIT2 to transfer the hex.
