That's the best approach, yes.

TSVN will search the working copy upwards until it finds a folder with
those properties set. If you can make sure that every user checks out
e.g. from /trunk and not some subfolder, it's enough to set the
properties there.

No, only on folders. TSVN ignores the properties if they're set on files.
