If a fuel filer is clogged then yes it would cause no fuel to get to the engine, and the motor would shut down. Although most people never change their fuel filters, they should be changed at a minimum of one year intervals. Most people don't change the fuel filter, and their fuel pumps burn out from having to force fuel through a clogged filter after the vehicle is about 5 years old. Quite frankly if your vehicle stopped running due to a clogged filter, plan on replacing the pump in the next few months.
