Here is a simpler form of your approach and some other methods.

Table[{i, 
      Count[ToExpression[Characters[StringDrop[ToString[N[Pi, 57]], {2}]]], 
        i]}, {i, 0, 9}] == 
  
  Table[{i, Count[RealDigits[N[Pi, 57]][[1]], i]}, {i, 0, 9}]  == 
  
  (({#, 1}& /@ Sort[RealDigits[N[Pi, 57]][[1]]])//.{f___,{x_,k_},{x_,n_},
          e___}:>{f,{x,k+n},e}) ==
  
  Reverse /@ Frequencies[RealDigits[N[Pi, 57]][[1]]]

True
