Yes you should be fine, there are different ways to accomplish the same end goal, which is to have your newly generated EOS key pair associated with your Ether wallet address where you store your tokens.
As long as you can complete step #15 and get your EOS public key back - you are all set!

Thanks Eluzgin, pretty sure I did that..
Apparently Binance were doing the swap as well, however only have a very small amount on there and rest on metamask- don't trust the exchanges that much..

& looking back I have a public and private key laminated on paper safely kept somewhere.. so hoping that's it.
Dont know how to claim afterwards or transfer from Metamask somewhere but if a chance that would be a helpful post that should get a lot of upvotes :)
