You can definitely boot from your old block storage volume on a newly created Linode. And you are following the correct guide as far as booting from a block storage volume is concerned.
One thing I did not see you mention is whether or not you safely detached your block storage volume from the old Linode before deleting it. It is important to always follow best practices regarding attaching/detaching block storage volumes, as skipping steps may result in data loss.
Other than that everything you mention doing looks to be correct.
I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any followup/clarifying questions.
