Basically, yes ...
In the pic, see the small round hole just above the lower hole that the shackle goes into? A pin fits into that to hold the lock cylinder in place when the whole shebang is unlocked - when it's locked, it holds itself together.
Apart from the messed-up plastic, that's basically what my Paramounts looked like when I took them apart to repin them so they'd all work from the same key. I'd happily fix that lock with gaffer tape and use it tomorrow.
