It can be introduced after the filter since many parts use it. There are several different colours involved not just the grey from the pan and the timing cover.
The oil filter is bypassed on cold start and under high pressure. Not every ounce of oil goes through the filter all the time.
The big stuff caught in the pickup is the least of the worries as far as I see.
