Pretty accurate, for a basic foray into a SmartThings setup:
SmartThings hub: $170 off Amazon
Schlage Connect Smart-Deadbolt: $210-$250 each from Home Depot (I assume two)
Ring Doorbell Pro 2: $199 from Home Depot

I would budget at least one Z-wave smart switch as well to act as a repeater in case the house is big enough to need one, those are $60 for the Leviton switches.

A Hubitat is ~$100 USD so that's a bit cheaper than SmartThings but at the cost of some extra time spent setting things up (with the reward of more flexibility).
