Is it possible to use Mod_Rewrite and apache in reverse proxy mode simultaneously?

Yes, but the <Directory> stanza applies to files that are being served from the front-end server's filesystem. The rewrite rules you put in the <Directory> stanza have no effect because the requests are being proxied, not served from the filesystem.
Move the RewriteEngine and RewriteRule directives out of the <Directory> context and into the virtual host context with the ProxyPass directive. You should also get rid of the RewriteBase directive and make the RewriteRule directive operate on absolute (not relative) URLs, like this:
