I would imagine that works.

I generally copy from machine to machine (to balance multiple hardware nodes, etc) and do:

1. rsync -avzuPe 'ssh -p ####' /vz/private/$VEID master@newmachine:/vz/private/
2. vzctl stop $VEID (stopping after sync allows it to be up while moving all the files - nice if it's a bigger VE)
3. rsync -avzuPe 'ssh -p ####' --delete /vz/private/$VEID master@newmachine:/vz/private/
4. rsync -avzuPe 'ssh -p ####' /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/$VEID.conf master@newmachine:/etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/
5. ssh master@newmachine
6. (set ip or iptables nat rules)
7. vzctl start $VEID
