almost that simple, but not quite.
The high pressure side of the system (basically everything between the pump and the shocks) can be dangerous to somebody unprepared for it. Any time you work with it, you should have safety glasses on (though many people don't bother; they've never gotten a face full of hydraulic fluid) and you need to depressurize the system before opening it (something you're not doing today, as you're on th elow pressure side).
For today, you're installing the new tank and having the return line (which is low pressure) drain into a separate container. Fill the tank, start the motor and collect and discard what returns. Then reconnect the return line.
That's bascially it, though keep a close on the fluid level in the resevoir, don't let it run dry. Also there is a means of bleeding the system from the valve. That shouldn't be necessary. But if you do it (search the forum for the technique), remember what I said right up front.
