Shouldn't make any difference. The filter line has an implicit "a|.*|"
at the end. From the lvm.conf man page:

  "Devices that  don't  match  any patterns are accepted."

If it works for you then that's the main thing.

Just be aware that it will need adjustment if you add any more LVs that
need to be treated this way (that's why I prefer to accept the PVs I
need and reject everything else with a final "r|.*|").
