Because it is only a vowel separator, if a Lojban orthography use, for example, {w} {j} {3} for IPA's [w] [j] [ʒ] respectively, it does not need any letter for a vowel separator. in such an orthography, 

Your basic idea is good, but it's egregious to use a digit as a letter -- especially when there are letters left unused in the Latin alphabet (h, q)!  Instead one could do this:

For [j] use {j}.
For [w] use {w}.
For /ʒ/ use {x}.

For /x/ use {h}.

An approach I like better is this:

For [j] use {y}.
For [w] use {w}.

For /ə/ use {x}.

For /x/ use {h}.

For /ʒ/ continue to use {j} so {.lojban.}'s spelling stays the same.

 

{coi fi'i .i ui e'u do lebna pa lo titspi .i ji'a tcati e'u}

will be 

{coj fii .i wi eu do lebna pa lo titspi .i 3ia tcati eu}.

Similarly, {ii} will be {ji}, and {ji} will be {3i} in that orthography.

{coy fii .i wi eu do lebna pa lo titspi .i jia tcati eu}

{doy .horhes. peipey lo .lojban. tikxgaw to mua mia toy cu lojxpre ji cu cizxpre zoosay}

Using {q} for /ʔ/:

{coy fii qi wi qeu do lebna pa lo titspi qi jia tcati qeu}

{doyq horhesq peipey loq lojbanq tikxgaw to mua mia toy cu lojxpre ji cu cizxpre zoosay}

Ignoring the comma, this system employs all 26 basic Latin letters, plus the space as a word separator.
