@fstwrtr Just the nature of contact with the lime in the concrete the PT is needed. Of course it's best to have aged and dried PT. You can substitute what was done in the past before PT and brush roof coating on the side of the 2x that contacts the concrete to act as a barrier between them, just like fence posts used to be dipped into creosote for the ground bury area to keep water and bugs from harming the wood. Code of not you need something to prevent the concrete from affecting the wood

One thing that works good and makes it stronger is to get things set like you have and measure the space between the pressure treated and the jamb right where the strike plate is, then make an exact thickness shim about 6 or 8" tall to slip in between the jamb and the PT stud. That way you can use longer screws for the strike plate and it's stronger, less prone to flexing and breaking. Best best is one of those deep security strikes you bore a hole in the PT for on an exterior door.
