Guru,
Take a look at Philip Farkas' old treatise "The Art of Brass Playing" if you have a chance. The photos within will reveal a WIDE variety of embouchures with one thing in common -- they all work. If you're playing the way you've described above then congratulations, you've solved it.
We are speaking in gross generalities whenever we write about such things as trumpet technique online. There are general principles to discuss and consider but each of us must find our own unique way.
Best,
