Granting access to the site as you have there is all you need. Then they can use the URL to access the OneDrive.

However, remember that the site won't be accessible after 30 days unless you have "Preserve OneDrives for x days" configured in OneDrive admin center. After 30 days it goes to recycle bin if not.
