You are correct – once you have peered the VPCs and accepted the peering, you will need to add a route to each route table associated with the Subnets used by your EC2 instance. Add the IP range of the destination VPC and make sure you are updating the route table used by the subnet used by your EC2 instances.
Check that your NACLs and Security Groups will allow the ICMP request as well.
