Yes, it is much faster that way.

Over on -hackers a few optimizations of COPY have been discussed; one of
those is to optimize COPY when it is loading into a table created within
the same transaction as the COPY. This would allow pg_dumps to be
restored much faster, since no WAL need be written in this case.
I hope to work on this fairly soon.

Dumping/restoring data with pg_dump has wider uses than data protecting
backup.
