Yes and no. A tiny part of the top insulator fits inside the hole allowing the inner part of the SO239 to safely pass through without contacting metal, connecting the coax center conductor to the isolated antenna. The outer part of the SO239 and steel washer screw tightly against the metal bracket, connecting the coax braid to the bracket for grounding/counterpoise purposes.
