That is a really nice introduction (+1). If you are writing JavaScript it is important to understand basic OOP concepts, becaues it's only a matter of time before it is encountered in the wild.
Personally, I try to avoid OOP in JavaScript. OOP tends to be a little more verbose, but this is me being petty about vanity. The best reason to avoid OOP in JavaScript is that people who aren't strong in JavaScript but have experience or formal education in other language see OOP in JavaScript as something familiar which presents all manners of false expectations and future disappointment.
