T-S, Yep those are the engines in reverse. Depending on company operating procedures, reversers are normally selected on main wheel touchdown, which is often a few seconds before the nosewheel lands. Its a bit of a balncing act, as reversers are at their most effective at higher speeds, but in airbus' their deployment also signals the end of a chance of any decision to go around.
