It is. Or - you could use Custom_Scatter but nothing would be better for skin - it's just more customizable (you don't have to choose the Skin 1 or Skin 2 preset).
As I said earlier, the rest is specularity, not scatter, and the rest is just as important. There is a new skin node (Subsurface Skin) that combines both the scatter effect and the specularity effect (as far as I can tell it's Scatter + ks_microfacet) in one, but it's not the best, IMO. (Because it's missing Reflect and because ks_microfacet is not my favorite) Feel free to use it, if simple (one node) is your goal. But it's not the best by any measure other than node count.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
