Why not? This is one of the more tame things Musk screwed up.
But no, this is most likely fake. It’s way too convenient for it to be true.

It’s not how code works. There’s no reason to send this information to the client because the filtering runs server side, so the client never needs to know about it.
You’re assuming proper design. I’ve worked on systems where filtering was done client-side (and fixed that), it’s stupid, but it’s what happens when a FE is assigned a task and uses the tools at their disposal. In fact, I think Lemmy used to filter deleted comments clientside a few versions ago.
