Ehh, I think that's pretty much what rule util means, though I'm not that familiar with the nuances of the definition so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Rule util posits that we follow those rules with the intent of promoting the good; that's why it's called rule utilitarianism.
Wikipedia link.
I'm pretty sure the first time I read this, it specifically stated that using rules of thumb is not the same as rule utilitarianism. As it is, it's less clear, but I'm pretty sure it's still saying that they are two different ideals, rather than just different strategies.
