No problem with the way it is.

For a slightly different meaning you could also say:

she was hiding behind the door when her brother came to find her.

I like this better: She hid behind the door when she saw her brother trying to find her.

The word "hid" was fine, but I felt it could be shortened up a bit. You could have used the words "concealed herself", but I feel your choice was nice.

There's nothing wrong with the word hid. I just think there might be a better way to finish that sentence. I'll add a very casual AE word on this suggestion:

She ducked behind the door as soon as she saw her brother looking for her.
