Yep thats the right location, my engine is a 4 cylinder so the rear mount is a little different to your photo, it only has two bolts mounted to the chassis for the engine mount to attach and the spacer is between the two, looking at that photo maybe the V6's don't have a spacer like the 4 cylinder :...
