You are good to go!

You can use your saved seed words and password to log a new Metamask wallet. Next one is you have to export your private keys from the older wallet and import it to the new one.

Essentially, the addresses that you generate are determined solely by the "seed phrase." The first time you run MetaMask, it will generate a seed phrase for you, and then when you install MetaMask on other computers, you can "restore" from the same seed phrase. This means that the same addresses will be generated in the same order.
