Yup.

See cool videos that explains it (and other rule changes):

It's interesting to see that in the MB promotional video, they still show a more conventional turbo setup (albeit with the electric motor between the turbine and compressor) and not the separated turbo mentioned in the OP. It must still have been a well kept secret at the time.
