not quite.
there are rules that do not work when called from a layer two
point. e.g. divert does not work, nor does 'fwd' (without patches).
Rules not specifically labeled "layer2" will still process packets,
but rules labeled "not layer2" will not do so. (as expected).

note if_bridge and bridge are different and may have
behavioral differences in this regard.
