it looks like you're spot on for the direction buttons and from my experience hacking controls [pc , dreamcast , psx , ms pac] all the grounds have been connected.

I agree about the common grounds.

It's hard to tell about the directions since the front and back aren't perfect overlays.  Could you solder a jumper wire and tap the 4 suspected contacts while you have it turned on?  That way you won't spend all your time and found out that it was wrong.

Common Ground - Just use a Multimeter on the Ohms setting and touch the two points - if it zeros, they're common.

Old school gamepad hacking trick - You can carefully score (using a knife or preferably a Dremel) between the contact points - pink lines on attachment.  This give you a large area on either side of the score line to solder to, or at least allows you to be sloppier with your soldering.

Your deductions are right

Go ahead and start soldering and enjoy :)
