Yes if you redirect DNS requests to Tor's DNSPort you should be safe
against DNS leaks.

I guess you are talking about a local setup without a "middlebox"
involved. If my assumption is correct you want to refer to the following
section in the document:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TransparentProxy#LocalRedirectionThroughTor

as far as I can see you copied parts of the iptables rules from the
"middlebox" setup from this section:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TransparentProxy#LocalRedirectionandAnonymizingMiddlebox
