Yes, it does. I have modified my 'rtp' in my ~/.vimrc and Vim
sources scripts in the order specifed by the modified 'rtp'.

You shouldn't have to change anything to get Vim to source your
filetype.vim first. I have my own filetype.vim and as you can see
here, it is sourced first.

$ vim -N -u NONE
:filetype on
:scriptnames
1: ~/.vim/filetype.vim
2: /usr/local/share/vim/vim74/filetype.vim
