That will work.

That's my understanding, if you just want to power one circuit. My rig has one circuit labeled "outlets", which I assume will power all the electrical outlets, including the ones the TVs and DVD players are plugged into. Perhaps also the microwave and fridge. I know the induction cooktop has its own circuit.
If you want to power multiple circuits, I've seen folks add a sub-panel that is powered from the inverter and then goes to the various circuits. This is probably the more elegant approach, but more complicated to install.
Another option is to wire the output of the inverter to your main breaker panel A/C input so that everything is powered from the inverter. This makes installation pretty easy, but you have to be careful not to turn on heavy load items (like the A/C) while powered by the inverter.
