Yes, this is valid use of the word. For future reference, then is used in situations involving time or sequence, like with the above sentence. Than is usually used in comparison. For example, "We went to the play, then bought ice cream." This is proper use of 'then'. An example for 'than': "This soda tastes better than that one."
