Yes.

The manual says

"""
syntax: rewrite regex replacement flag
default: none
context: server, location, if
"""

The location{} block just says "only try this for some urls".

Within the server{} block, it would be "try this for all urls", and only
urls that match the regex would be rewritten.

So: the "rewrite" line that was almost working for you, with the extra
bit on the replacement part to suppress adding the query string, should
be what you want.

Good luck,
