Yes, short of syncing categories, this is a nice option that will help to
keep the sync a little cleaner.

I do a similar thing for my Sony Ericsson phone and 'Address Book'.  I sync
only my 'Address Book' entries in the a specific group.  I have named the
group PhoneSync.  This makes it very easy to see which contacts will be
transferred back and forth from my phone.
