Is this an issue of Isolation?

I have a proc that updates a table and a relatinship table, and that proc can be called more than once at the same time. For example:

INSERT INTO Students (autoID, name) values (null, 'John')
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() into v_new_id;
INSERT INTO StudentAgeRel (StudentID, Age) values (v_new_id,18)

Im wondering if, as this is called more than once from two different users, I can get the following problem:

User1 inserts a record and creates ID=1
Then before the LAST_INSERT_ID takes place, User2 creates ID=2.
Then when user1's sql runs LAST_INSERT_ID, it gets ID=2 - and uses StudentID=2 in the StudentAgeRel table when it should have used StudentID=1.

Is this simply taken care of by using a transaction? Is that all that is required? Does that enforce the integrity that I need here?
