yup, thats about the best way.if you wanted to use a hole saw you can bond a small piece of plywood over the back of the hole and use that to center the drill.

I used one of those rotozip cutters in my dremel. Worked really well. I got maybe 6 rectangular switches out of the bit before it burned up.
You could also try fitting two hole saws inside of each other.

I used a coarse sandpaper flap wheel about 1 1/2" in dia. I put it in a die grinder and it cut the glass very nicely. Definitely use a vacuum. Just use a marker to scribe a line and sand to it.

I always put masking tape over the area to be cut and draw cut line with a contractors pencil. Bear in mind that the melted fiberglass from the rotozip will be hot and can melt vinyl so protect things around the cut.
