No, this is not totally correct, if the setup only has WSA2, then
channel 0 and 1 should be WSA2 channels.
What is the backend dai id that is in DT, it should be
sound-dai = <&q6apmbedai WSA2_CODEC_DMA_RX_0>;
I also noticed that you are using
https://github.com/linux-msm/audioreach-topology/blob/main/SM8550-HDK.m4
which has WSA as backend dai, that is not correct, you should have WSA2.

This one looks good, this should be a bug fix patch.

Each element i of the channel_mapping[i] array, describes the channel i
inside the buffer where i is less than num_channels. An unused channel
is set to 0.
For some reason I get impression that user is trying to set a 4 channels
instead of 2 channel.
Can you fix the backend-dai id and play it directly on WSA2 instead of WSA.
Or was there a reason for not doing it otherwise?
