Yes. It has a plastic separator inside the metal tube that can get plugged

I'd honestly remove the plastic piece in the valve cover and install an FV308 PCV in the intake vs the plastic black 1/4 thread nipple and call it a day.

I did this other day, my plastic piece was just gross, clogged up and in pieces. One less plastic part to fail.

I went ahead and removed my Fram FV178 PCV and installed the Fram FV308 like Best4x4 stated.
It is really easy to do.
