I don't know what you mean by "correct". You are entitled to use words 
to mean whatever you like so long as you define how you are using them. 
If you are asking whether your definitions are consistent with some 
other use of the same terms, then you will have to point to that other 
usage. I've never come across the term "syntactic identity", and 
although I've seen "surface syntax" used, I've never seen any attempt to 
make the term mean anything very precise.
