Please tell me if there's anything wrong with this method, or anyway air can get back into the system?

I think this method is probably ok. Potential problem is if air leaks in around the bleed screw threads. If you have the hose set up so fluid siphons into the catch can while you are not pushing the pedal it should be ok.
Another option is to build your own motive adapter for the Honda. Buy a replacement cap and attach a fitting to it for the motive. Drill/tap the hole if there is enough thickness, and JB weld. I did this for my jeep before an adapter was available for it.
