The preferred method is drilling out the hole to the same size as a hardwood dowel, gluing it in, and drilling a new hole. If the hole is badly stripped or damaged an anchor may not fill the gap and a larger screw may not give head clearance for the door to shut. Also, using most anchors will not allow a long enough screw to offer good security. You really want to go through both the jack stud and most of the king stud. Three inches, typically. Got an interior door that doesn't need to be secure or strongly held in place, your method will be adequate.

Yes, as noted, the method was used on a hollow core interior door.
Perfect.
