That doesn't appear to be so; of course, the regular expression demands
a match on the trailing "ba".

In the NFA automaton, every time the prefix of the input given so far
ends in ba, the machine will be in an acceptance state corresponding
to that trailing ba.

Possible NFA graph:

                      .b -. .- b -> (3) -> a -> ((4))
                      |    |
                      v    ,
   (0) -> a (1) -> b (2) --.
                      ^    |
                      |    |
                      ` a -'

In the DFA, there will be a reachable state (subset of NFA states) which
contains ((4)).
