Yes.
It is after the pump to protect the injectors.
I have heard that the filter is after the pump because having a clogged filter before the pump can burn out the pump since it uses the fuel to cool itself.  (Of course, this does not explain the plastic pre-filter)

My understanding is that the pre-filter was on the California Vanagons only. Anyone know why?

I just checked my other german car and it also has a fuel filter after the electric fuel pump.
