Yes, that is completely normal. It should stay at around 40 at idle with the engine at operating tempature, on hot days it may be a little lower, but not much. Higher revs=higher oil pressure.

My idle oil pressure is at 45, wide open throttle at 65ish. I'd say you are dead on. And as the other guy said, perfectly normal for it to move. Even if you just rev it up you should see it move because pressure will inrease with the increasing RPMS.
