Yes, it is. They are wool lice. You need to spray your San Pedro with something against this from your local plant store / nursery. If you can't find any you can also spraywith spiritus dissolved in in water. You also need to get rid of all the soil it is in (assuming it is in a pot) as this is where the eggs are in.
