This looks OK. If you login as your 'oracle' user (default: oracle) and type 'dbstart' your database should start, If it doesn't, check for error messages. If it does, add a line like:

su - oracle -c "dbstart"

and possibly

su - oracle -c "tcpctl start"

if you want to start the SQL*Net TCP/IP server proces 'orasrv'

at the end of your /etc/rc.local file. This should do the trick.
