Not speaking for Paul who may chime in hear but I believe you are
correct.  I just set one of these up last week and I think what you
have is close.  Given that you have copied gpxelinux to the
appropriate location, you have more options available to be able to do
stuff like this:

LABEL ESXi 5.0 KickStart and HTTP
KERNEL http://10.0.2.14:8080/vSphere/ESXi_5.0/MBOOT.C32
APPEND -c http://10.0.2.14:8080/vSphere/ESXi_5.0/BOOT.CFG
ks=http://10.0.2.14:8080/vSphere/ESXi_5.0/ks.cfg +++
IPAPPEND 1
