Is definitely a blown head gasket? (pictures)

In process of changing water pump out (major leak, overheating). Can I, based on what I see and what these pictures show, assume the head gasket is blown, and that this is it poking out of the engine?

No idea what is poking out, but that is your valve cover not your head.

That is part of the valve cover gasket. Just replace it next time you adjust your valves.
