If you make sure your URL vars have the same names as the associated table 
fields, you can simplify further as follows:

def eco:
    my_content = db.table.created_by == auth.user.id
    filter_query = reduce(lambda a, b: a & b,
                          [db.table[v] == request.vars[v] for v in request.
vars
                           if v in db.table.fields])
    filtered_list = db(my_content & filter_query).select(,,,,,) 
    return dict(filtered_list = filtered_list)

or if you prefer loops:

def eco:
    filter_query = db.table.created_by == auth.user.id
    for var in [v for v in request.vars if v in table.fields]:
        filter_query &= db.table[var] == request.vars[var]
    filtered_list = db(my_content & filter_query).select(,,,,,) 
    return dict(filtered_list = filtered_list)
