Yes because the fuel required by the engine is restricted thus slowing it down.

How can you tell if you have a bad filter or a bad fuel pump on a mpv?
The best thing to do is replace the fuel filter anyway. You will need to do it even if the fuel pump is bad, so you have nothing to lose. You can listen to hear iif the fuel pump is kicking on at all. If it is, just do the fuel filter. Its much cheaper and easier than the fuel pump. Then you can test the fuel pressure to see if the pump is bad after you replace the filter.
How do you know fuel filter is bad?
The first real indicator is that you start losing power. Most recommend you change your fuel filter every 15,000 miles. Some later vehicles have a fuel filter that cannot be serviced because it is inside the tank but most still use an external filter. No manufacture recommends a 15,000 fuel filter change. No way should you waste your money changing a fuel filter every 15,000 miles unless the engine is a diesel. Change it every 36,000 miles if it is a replaceable filter and you will be just fine.
How do you know your fuel filter is bad?

Depends on what you mean by "bad." If its bad as in low quality oil/filter it the long run it can damage your engine and in the short run give you less gas mileage. If its bad as in a idiot technician didnt tighten the filter or put the wrong oil, or not enough oil. Yes that can be very bad for your engine and damage performance.
Why doesn't a jeep diesel start when facing uphill?
Gravity. Or your fuel pump is bad. There should be enough pressure from your fuel pump to push the fuel to the injectors. A clogged filter could do it also. I would change the filter first.
