I'm assuming there is also a filter before the carburetor. The filter before the electric pump is to protect the pump from rust/debris from the tank that could lock it up.
I like the the above setup, as you don't have to count on the electric pump. The engine can run only on the mechanical one... and the mechanical one does not have to draw through the electric.
The electric is handy for priming the engine after it has sat, and as an instant cure for a mechanical fuel pump failure!
