Yes, this is the full location directive.

        location     / {
            root     /home/account/public_html;
            index    index.html index.htm index.php;
        }

        location ~* 
^.+.(jpg|jpeg|gif|css|png|js|ico|flv|txt|zip|mp3|rar|w3x)$ {
                if ($invalid_referer)
                {
                   #return 403;
                   rewrite / http://www.domain.com/;
                }
                root              /home/account/public_html;
                expires           30d;
        }
