Yes, but I'm not sure you could have a sensible behaviour-modifying BEFORE trigger without this loophole. Don't forget, ordinary users can't work around this - you need suitable permissions.

You could rewrite PG's foreign-key code to check the referencing table after the delete is supposed to have taken place, and make sure it has. That's going to halve the speed of all your foreign-key checks though.
