Yes that is the crank pulley spacer, it is a slip fit. With the crank pulley removed the only thing holding it in place is friction from the seal and possibly some friction interference from the oil pump since it drives it. It should be fairly free.

In this thread they talk about it accidentally coming unseated from the key on the timing gear pulley.

You can also see it on the diagram in this post, there is nothing holding it in place but friction once the bolt is removed.
