Yes! And if you notice the upper half of the picture looks like a dry ocean (you can see the high edge of a coast line). Now, one thing you notice is there are very few craters in that area that looks like it once had an ocean.
This is more evidence that this particular area was covered with water, which absorbed many of the impacts!
