No, your normal form is not correct.

It doesn't reflect the fact that Player $2$ gets to see the choice made by Player $1$ before deciding whether to accept or reject.

For each of the $3$ options for Player $1$, there are $2$ options for Player $2$, so Player $2$ has $2^3=8$ distinct strategies.

Thus, the normal form is a $3{\times}{8}$ matrix, not a $3{\times}{2}$ matrix.

Note:$\;$The pdf in the link you provided shows the correct $3{\times}{8}$ matrix.
