Exactly like that. That is the phonetic writing of the word suggestion.

Here's how to pronounce it using modern Latin, for the less knowledgeable

ə is pronounced 'uh' as in umbrella or jungle
dʒ is pronounced 'j' as in jaguar or fudge
tʃ is pronounced 'ch' as in march or hatch
' is a stress mark, meaning that syllable is stressed
() means you can pronounce it with the ə or not

suh-'jes-chuhn
suh-'jes-chn

Not really. Different dictionaries tend to give different pronunciations for words. It depends on what dictionary Zumza used.

▼Further Explanation

Some dictionaries include a hard 'g' sound as in suh(g)-'jes-ch(uh)n
Some even give its pronunciation as suh-'jesh-ch(uh)n
Some put the stress on -tion, as in suh(g)-jes-'ch(uh)n
Some say its suh-'jes-chôn (ô is pronounced o as in your, store, or pawn)

Anyway, I pronounce it as suh-'jes-chn.

Yes.
Also, it is much easier than it may look like.
