Yes : in this case Q1 is a quadrupole "filtering" one mass, q2 is a second one used for the fragmentation, and Q3 is a third one also filtering. (Note : in the nomenclature, a big "Q" should be used for a quadrupole with a mass-filtering capability, and a small "q" should be used for a quadrupole "transmitting" the ions - in that case along fragmentation.)
