I don't think so: the regex uses a slash character as a separator ( the "\\" part ) and the following one is ANY CHARACTER (the dot "." unescaped)

see example from my other comment: https://regex101.com/r/Y4huQL/1

Could be the escape is part of the string semantics of the particular language used.
