No it is not correct.
You should filter for unknown caches only.
If you test on me you will get http://coord.info/GC2XRHN "Piteälva the challenge" that is a ordinary trad

There are also another problem that makes this in practice impossible to do
I got http://coord.info/GC31HY2 "Make.it.High-Challenge" in my list and it it not a challenge but a bonus mystery. New  challenges(2011+) must have the word Challenge in the name but there is no rule against that word in non challenge mysteries

I made a quick look in the code and i cant see removal of  "A","An", and "The in the beginning of the name. The removal is optional "A Hard Challenge" can match A or H

And I see no check if the challened is logged after last archive date either to make a partial check for "You may only use your found caches that were "active" when found. Archived caches that are logged as found after the archive date are not allowed."

After another look in the code after the long runtime
it took 4.1s on mw with 4700 find and 26s on bucknuts that have found it with 40000 find. That is to long for this test and will use to much cpu time for the bacground checks
You are doing all test 36 time one for each letter
loop over caches instead and add the result to a table indext by the letter.
us a letter loop after all check to print the result instead.
This will give a speedup by 36 time
