Yes this exactly, sorry couldn't reply sooner.
There are actually a few things you can see inside of there including the clutch assembly and the throwout bearing if you can see it at the right angle.
If it's difficult to see or you aren't entirely sure what you are looking for, have a friend in the driver seat pushing the clutch pedal down and up repeatedly until you can see how the system works. The throwout bearing is attached to the clutch fork (inside the trans) which is the big black metal piece that the clutch master & slave is pushing back and forth (at the very top of the transmission) to disengage and engage the clutch.
The throwout looks like this, probably not the same colors though after thousands of miles of usage.
