Yes, that's right. Before a, o, and n you might need to type a space after Option ñ to prevent it becoming an accent mark.

On British PC, it is Shift on the key that makes #

I'm using a macbook air with qwerty Spanish keyboard, I tried with Option + n with the British - PC keyboard and I'm getting this character "˜", but my real intention is to use tilde to go home in a remote ubuntu server, in a Windows computer I usually do with ALT + 126.
