Yes. 

In VS-DR the packet which arrives on the real-servers has a destination of
the VIP (which is why you need the VIP on lo:0). The code running on the
director just changes the MAC address of the packet to that of the 
RIP on the selected real-server and ships the packet out the door. The director
is just functioning as a router.
