No, not the first ever. In fact not even close. The article states it is the first to be imaged that is both a) far away from its host star and also b) that host star has a second but closer planet that was detected by the transit method.
Here's a list of other directly imaged planets. The earliest on that list was imaged in 2004 ( article with picture).

I assumed "Direct imaging" in this instance was with no infrared filters, and just using visible light.
I could be wrong though.
