With your exported private key file you can create a new wallet and import them to get your bitcoin back yes.

In another thread I detailed how I backup my wallets so you might want to do that in addition.
It's here:

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing - it's simply a different way of securely your wallet/ private keys. You could do both as a "belt and braces" approach.

Thanks Jim! Just had to make sure considering it's a lot of money!
