Yes it's a Carbon fork.
Nice paint choice BTW. My color of choice is blue so I got blue, plus polished, plus blasted design (Vector). It's a pain from a cleaning standpoint. If I had to do it again I would have gotten their "Hue" finish (painted fork & seat tube, polished logos and brushed everywhere else.) then used stem, seat post and cages to add more color in.
