Yes, absolutely. ADSL filters stop the voiceband devices interfering
with the modem, not vice versa.

On a splitter+filter, the phone plug goes through the filter, but the
ADSL plug is a simple pass-through without any filtering.

Some people will claim that their PSTN voice quality improves with a
filter, but as the filters are not designed to do that people who claim
that are suffering from the placebo effect.

From Wikipedia:

  Typical installation for an existing home involves installing DSL
  filters on every telephone, fax machine, voiceband modem, and other
  voiceband device in the home, leaving the DSL modem as the only
  unfiltered device.
