Implementing Random Seed for Machine Learning

I am building a convolutional network and it was suggested to me to set the same random seed at the beginning of my code using the rng command in order to achieve reproducibility of the training results. Here is my neural network:
rootFolder = 'TrainingAll5Sets';
categories = {'0deg', 'eighthdeg'};
rng(0);
%imds = imageDatastore(fullfile(rootFolder, categories), 'LabelSource', 'foldernames');
imds = imageDatastore(fullfile(rootFolder, categories), 'LabelSource', 'foldernames','FileExtensions','.png');
%Define Layers
layers = [
imageInputLayer([256 320 1])
convolution2dLayer(1,5,'Padding',2)
batchNormalizationLayer
reluLayer
maxPooling2dLayer(2,'Stride',2)
convolution2dLayer(6,15,'Padding','same')
batchNormalizationLayer
reluLayer
maxPooling2dLayer(2,'Stride',2)
convolution2dLayer(12,40,'Padding','same')
batchNormalizationLayer
reluLayer
fullyConnectedLayer(2)
softmaxLayer
classificationLayer];
%Set training options - use default options from 7.15.20
options = trainingOptions('sgdm', ...
'InitialLearnRate',0.00001, ...
'MaxEpochs',300, ...
'Shuffle','every-epoch', ...
'Verbose',false, ...
'Plots','training-progress');
%Train
[net, info] = trainNetwork(imds, layers, options);
My question is have I implemented the rng command correctly in line 3? My understanding is that rng will generate the same random weights so that I will get reproducible results. Is inserting rng in the beginning of my code sufficient to do this? I want to understand how rng works in a machine learning algorithm.

This should be sufficient. You can try it yourself by running your code more then once to verify that you get the same results.
