Yes, exactly. To me it makes perfect sense that an Optimal Decision Algorithm would follow a rule like this, though it’s not obvious that it captures everything that the other two statements (the Formula of Humanity and the Kingdom of Ends) capture, and it’s also not clear to me that it was the interpretation Kant had in mind.
Btw, I can’t take credit for this—I came across it in Christine Korsgaard’s Creating the Kingdom of Ends, specifically the essay on the Formula of Universal Law, which you can find here (pdf) if you’re interested.
