It looks reasonably accurate. Mounting a share without a password isn't the greatest idea though. You may want to tailor it a bit more to your own needs; rather than giving access to everyone (dangerous for obvious reasons), open the share as your user and give it a password. -o user=linuxuser,username=winuser,password=pass
See man mount.cifs for more options you can put in -o to control permissions and the like.
Depending on your distro, cifs-utils may be the wrong package, or unnecessary - CIFS share mounting is a device driver, part of the Linux kernel, and might just be there already. If you don't have mount.cifs, try mount -t cifs.
Hosting a CIFS share on Linux is a totally different story, that requires the Samba package.
