Probably, has to come off on most cars these days.

On 1.4 TDi (2003) the oil filter is in an aluminimum fixtuer with a bolt on the top, the filter is a paper tyoe element which fits inside this unit by undoing the bolt and removing the lid, not the more common steel can type. Until i brought the new element I was puzzeled about where the filter was, this type of design is common on German cars though as a BMW 318 and a 520 I had were also like this.

Very messy to change though from memory!
 
The petrol engine has a spin-on oil filter located to the side of the exhaust manifold. It can be removed with a strap wrench or a 30mm spanner. It looks like you access it from underneath the car so you will need to remove the cover under the engine.
