No - is the short answer!

100 ft/min to 200 ft (actually from 35 ft or 15 ft, depending on the profile used) is at either 2 minute or 2.5 minute power - depending on the ratings available - and Vtoss. From 200 ft to 1000 ft, the RoC required is 150 ft/min at OEI MCP (or 30 minute power) and Vy (Vbroc.) Your graph will almost certainly be Vy and MCP, so doesn't really apply to either of these segments.

Additionally, the RTOM may be limited by the first or the second segment, depending on the Vtoss/Vy relationship - typically low Vtoss will result in the limiting mass, whereas a Vtoss that tends towards Vy will result in the second segment being the limiting factor.
