Yep, that is just a guy wire to anchor the final aerial span. Bonding it to the neutral is typical, in fact it is mandatory. Anything metallic on a utility pole needs to be bonded together, including neutrals (except for the hots, of course).

The pole's true grounding connection is via either a driven rod or a copper plate attached to the base of the pole.
