;-)) No. That means not exactly.
"Note that this just enables or disables PF, it doesn't actually load a 
ruleset. The ruleset must be loaded separately, either before or after 
PF is enabled."
	(from http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/config.html)

Try 'pfctl -e -f /etc/pf.conf' instead!
Or to just flush and reload: 'pfctl -F all -f /etc/pf.conf'.
