int4eq(main.effectiveid,main.id) AND (main.queue = 15) AND ((main.type)::text = 'ticket'::text) AND
((main.status)::text= 'resolved'::text))

No, the clause that's being used with the index is
main.id = transactions_1.objectid
The "filter condition" is just along for the ride --- it doesn't matter
what sort of expressions are in there, so long as they only use
variables available at this point in the plan. But if you had coded
that clause as
int4eq(main.id, transactions_1.objectid)
it would have been unable to create this plan at all.
