No, it is not. It isn't an EPS file it's a straight-forward PostScript 
program.

The version of Ghostscript you are using (9.02), no. There are any 
number of problems with what you are doing there, not least the poor 
quality of output of the pswrite device. Also (as Peter Flynn point out) 
the program includes a showpage which is not legal in an EPS program 
(which this isn't) and causes the page to be flushed leading to your 
problem.

My advice would be to upgrade to a recent version of Ghostscript (9.02 
is fast approaching it's 10th birthday) and use the eps2write device to 
create an EPS file from the PDF instead of the (deprecated and now 
removed) pswrite device.

That will produce a better quality PostScript output, and it will be an 
EPS file.
