Accessing the Database from Other Machines on the LAN

Hello All,
Being totally new to all this, I hope you will be patient with my ignorance and not ignore my request for help.

I have 2 locations that use a PoS with MySQL as the backend. In both cases they are moving from a single machine to a networked environment. One location is using MySQL 5.5 and the other is 5.7

From what I have read, I need to do the following from the command line -
CREATE USER root@% IDENTIFIED BY 1234abcd (same password as the current root)
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@% IDENTIFIED BY 1234abcd
bind-address = * (or 0.0.0.0 which allows all the IP addresses on the network)
flush privileges

Is this correct?
