While this will work, it's quite slow as it requires copying all the geometry's points into a new list. A faster approach is:

feature.geometry().geometry().nCoordinates()

In case you're wondering, the extra ".geometry()" gives you access to the QgsAbstractGeometry interface containing all the low level methods for working with geometry primitives.
