This is the way to go, but go further: Get this script, uncomment the table creation statements, and edit all the tablespace clauses on both table and index statements to what you want. Create all the tablespaces and run this script to create all the objects. Then do the import and tell it to ignore object creation errors. It'll put each table's data in the tablespace where you created it earlier.
