This. This so much. I always think about what Pokemon I have in the back, and what in general my team can do to take out my opponent's Pokemon.
Also along with shutting down support Pokemon/threats, depending on the team I like to try to take out the Mega ASAP if they lead with it. Just because most Megas are scary, LOL.
That is a good way of thinking in VGC
Just remember that your opponent may predict you and opt to reserve that Pokemon because they know it threatens you so much. It helps to know your opponent's play style. Are they overly agressive? Are they looking to stall you out with their bulky mons? If you are considering which plays they will make, should you prepare for the most devastating one? VGC is not easy. You just have to keep playing and keep learning how to take on the ever-changing metagame.
