Yes it is --- the reason it wants to use a hashjoin instead of a
nestloop is exactly that it thinks the loop would iterate too many
times. (Ten is already too many in this case --- if it had estimated
five rows out of the join, it'd have gone with the nestloop, since
the cost estimate difference at the top level is less than 2x.)
