Yes, your itinerary is eligible for 240 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa. Within your itinerary it is essential to understand that Boten railway crossing port is the one you will use to enter China. Also, it is important to understand that not all of Yunnan is open to those traveling on 240 hour visa free transit. Its northernmost and easternmost areas are out of limits for the travelers using this visa free transit scheme. Those open among cities and autonomous prefectures are: Kunming, Yuxi, Chuxiong, Honghe, Wenshan, Pu'er, Xishuangbanna, Dali and Lijiang. This is the majority of Yunnan territory and it encircles the majority of visitors interesting areas with the exception of one quite touristy and that is Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture where Shangri-La city is located.
It is essential when entering China to have your Malaysia bound (exit) ticket already bought in advance because you will be asked to present it to both Laotian authorities (at the moment of your exit from Laos to China) and upon your entry procedures when you arrive at Mohan railway port in China. It is highly advisable to have your Malaysia bound ticket as a printout, ready to be presented to the relevant immigration/border authorities. Just to conclude that your travel plan is definitely logical and doable and I wish you a wonderful visit to China.
