Yes. This is in the "key" of A. Capo'd on the 2nd fret, you would play the key of A out of the G position. Likewise, you could play capo'd on the 5th fret and play out of the E position. Or the 4th fret and the F position. The chords are played above the capo and not below.

And in Nashville numbering, regardless of capo'd fret, I, IV, V and II would be the order of the day.
