Well, that seems to make 2 major assumptions (and several minor ones), both of which are probably false:

* that the planetesimals that formed Earth had the same orbital characteristics (notably eccentricity), rather than being averaged out.

* that planetesimals formed from dust in largely the same manner as planets form from planetesimals



...no, I don't think it makes either of those assumptions.
