That's all I gotta do? I don't have to add any other data?

Yep.

Elements are nothing but a name to give a property. It has no substance in of its self.

Then you go to the features section of enemies, Actors, equips, ect, and by giving a char a reasistance to said element, then making a skill/weapon or whatnot have the element as a property, all of a sudden now the element is given substance.

Also, if you want an Enemy to do some specific response if a Skill with that element is used, have the Skill add an invisible state, and you can then use the Enemy battle page to say "Do (desired action) IF (invisible state is applied)" 

For example, attacking a Fire God with ice might hurt him badly ---- and make him mad so he casts the ultra-powerful spell Hellfire in return...

Yes, that's all you need to do to CREATE an element. You still have to IMPLEMENT it, as already pointed out. I assumed you already knew how to do that, based on the elements that already exist.
