Yes.

There should be one row for each observation, with a time and an event status flag for each.

For typical right censored data, 'times' should be the time to the event of interest or the time to censoring.  The 'censor' column should be the event status indicator (normally called 'event' by default). Your use of 'censor' as a variable name may result in some confusion relative to how to code the variable.

See:

  require(survival)
  ?Surv

for more information.
