That was the impression I got. In fact, didn't Ben say something about that in the last few seconds of the episode?
That whole last scene, the dialog was so fast and muttered, it was hard to actually make sense of. Unusual for this show.

That's my suspicion too.
Here's the thing: Sayid has been established as a highly principled sell-out. He's got a rigid moral code, but when the shit hits, he'll do what he needs to do, and pay the emotional price later. That's what got him into torture, that's what had him work Sawyer over in S1, etc. Some serious shit must have happened to have him become Ben's gun-monkey.
This whole flash-forward thing is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. There's a whole new life to the series now.
