So I tighten both connecting rod nuts to 30Nm then I turn each nut an additional 90degrees+/-2degreees. Correct?

Correct. If you bolt the crank to the flywheel (2 bolts are enough) and set the assembly on end, it is easier to install the rods. Getting 90 degrees is more difficult than you might be anticipating! Be sure to lube the rod bearings with assembly lube before installing. Good luck!
