The first thing that jumps out at me is DIMMER switch. I've never heard of a dimmer that can control a transformer. Make sure your dimmer is really intended to be hooked to the primary of the transformer. Another common problem with low voltage lighting: low voltage cable that might come with it is not allowed to be used in the walls. If you need wiring within your walls for the puck lights, you need to use Romex (or other legal wiring method). Otherwise I think your description of the wire connections is right (a picture is worth a thousand words).
