Yes, the sentence is correct in german. However "Ferien" in german is genarally only used for school holidays. While "wir machen Urlaub" means we go on a vacation.
You would always use "im" when saying that something takes place in a month ("im Januar", "im März" etc.) but that is kind of a fixed phrase. You would not say "in dem Januar/Februar/März etc.".
The months are not always pronounced with de definite article either. You could say for example:
"Januar ist ein kalter Monat." or:
"Der Januar ist ein kalter Monat."
(In general you are right though, "im" is the combination of "in" and "dem".)
