Yep. That's pretty much it. I worked in the kitchen of a national catering company for 4 years and have cleaned several hoods in my day. It's a relatively simple process that kpro pretty much summed right up.

Remove the metal vent covers/grills.
Degrease everything inside and outside of the hood.
Like kpro mentioned, if there's a fan in there, degrease the blades of it.
Put the vent covers/grills back in.
Make sure everything looks shiny.
