Looks like that will work. But, you can easily get simple PCB's on eBay for $10 or less, which will do that same job, and fit exactly in the gameboy.

From what I remember the alignment of the ABXY buttons on the SNES is slightly different than that of the AB on the DMG, now the contacts on the PCB look pretty big so you can get some wiggle room, but you may want to check alignment before you go drilling into a case.
The advantage of using the controller is that you only have 4 wires to wire up vs 13+ for a common ground PCB (including LR buttons).
