Yes, it's in series. A potentiometer used as a volume control is a variable voltage divider. At any point in the wiper travel, the pot is two resistors in series between the input and ground. The output - the wiper - is in series with the input (pickup) terminal and in parallel with the remaining (grounded) portion. As the pot is turned down from fully open, the series resistance increases and the parallel resistance decreases.
My statement is accurate.
