An interesting o-ring installation. But is it correct ?

Hello,
this guy made an acrylic (plexiglass) casiing for his camera, which can withstand good pressures.

However, I believe that this is not the proper way to use an o-ring, because it should reside inside a groove.
What he did is simply use a "top-hat side view" configuration, for the o-ring to reside in.
It would greatly simplify my design if I did the same. However I am wondering wether it is the correct way to do it.
Target depth is 50 meters.
What would you advise ?
