Yes, that seems like the right approach.  Problems are a JDT construct built 
upon Markers; APT Problems (or more generally problems contributed by 
CompilationParticipants) are a subset of JDT Problems.

In a perfect world this would probably be available as a public API exposed 
either from JDT as part of the set of interfaces related to 
CompilationParticipant, or from APT as part of the fixableError() interface. 
I think it would be reasonable, if you'd like, to submit such an enhancement 
request.
