That is how it is done in fcitx at least. During my ibus times, this was not
necessary though. 

Because I had to do this in order use Ctrl+Space for toggling on my keyboard
though: In the mozc option dialog[0]: General -> Keymap -> Customize, did you
make sure that Ctrl+Space is not used by mozc?

In the same keymap dialog, there are options for "Disable IME" and "Toggle
alphanumeric mode". Maybe this will do?
