Is this the common usage of using bzr-svn with subversion and bazaar repositories?

I don't quite understand this - you wouldn't generally use join here
 but rather push to svn+http://svn-repository/trunk from the bzr branch.

bzr join is for combining branches, and the root of the repository isn't
usually really a branch.

you might want to have a look at the bzr-svn info in the plugins guide.

Well, I have a problem with push. The subversion repository makes a restriction to the commit messages: they have to be at least 20 characters long. When committing to the bazaar repository, I didn't always follow that rule, so when I do pushing I got error messages indicate my commit message violate that rule. I find with join and merge I can avoid this problem.
