For what it's worth, not only is your usage a common one, I think it is consistent with the way some philosophers have discussed meta-ethics. Also, I particularly like the narrow way you construct 'mind-dependent'. It seems to me that the facts that I am capable of reason, that I understand English, and that I am not blind are all "objective" in common sense speak, even though they are, in the broadest possible sense of the phrase, mind-dependent. This illustrates the need for care about what kind of mind-dependence makes for subjectivity.
