Well physically geographically speaking, BB is at sea level as its adjacent to the Ocean of tears... and the approach to DC is pretty flat, maybe +/- 200-400 feet if I was being generous. Then the path through DC zone tunnel is about a -1k foot decline and then the lake, and then kedge, and then kedge is a very vertical zone...
So physically geographically (is that even a thing?) I would say its a very good guess as to the lowest point.
Though the hole is also basically at sea level too hmm :thinking gnome emoji:

I am not sure taking the "as the player walks" way of deciding elevation is necessarily the ideal approach. As an example, the climb up to high pass is clearly shorter than the drop to EK on the other side, so either the ocean is higher in Freeport than in Qeynos, or you gain elevation somewhere in between.
As well Frontier mountains are entered lower on the OT side than they are exited on the LOIO side, so unless the majority of frontier mountains is below the level of the lake of ill omen, which makes little sense, it too would be full of water, I just dont think walking from zone to zone is accurate.
Assuming the planet Norath follows the same basic rules of gravity and geography as our world, as the globe in Skyfire suggests it does, there is a rise in elevation on the approach to a mountain range, even if it seems pretty flat as you stand there and walk around.
