yep that is how you would separate the colors.
be sure you ask him, he may need black for each color in which case just give him each layer in different pdf's and make them all black because they need film positives for each color. As far as the halftone effect works, I would ask him what mesh count they are using and be sure to stress the fact that you are doing a halftone and need to know what line screen they are dealing with. You can select these in your print output.
Once they tell you that info make pdf's of each one and get into the preferences in pdf output and you can specify these things in the pdf. so that the halftone dots will be to your specs. Moire and dot gain are problems when you are dealing with screenprinters. press check with these dudes too, screenprinters are luddites, they may think that the shitty output is the effect you were looking for.
