Great idea! I will need to rebuild some of my fence sections next year and this will save some time.
I usually drill 2 rails at once, so that the holes line up for the top and bottom rails even if I'm off in my measurements. But I still have to measure and mark where the holes will go.
Your idea will make it go faster.

a variation can be made similar to this but flipped with a hole to drill through.
Drill first hole drop on jig, pvc in first hole drill though hole in jig.

I built this jig this weekend and became a fence making machine! I set my drill press on the tailgate of my truck with all of the wood in the back. Got me a stool, my shopvac to take care of the shavings, and commenced to spitting out parts for the fence. This saved me tons of time. I can't thank you enough for posting this to the forum. I never even had to get up once from the stool while I was cranking these out.
The only problem I had was with the wood shavings filling up the hole and making it hard to slide the wood in the jig. That's when I got my shopvac out. I would hold the nozzle of the vacuum right next to the hole as I was drilling and never had a problem after that.
