Yep, if you look in the manual they tell you the black strip along the top is a magnetic paint. They warn you not to scratch it or else your radio performance might be affected.

Aren't in-glass antennas notorious for sucking?

I got an 04 wagon and the in-glass antenna stinks. Tons of static on my daily commute from the east bay to the south bay where I had no problems in my Tacoma truck w/ an external whip antenna.

But I can live with it... I'd rather have a cleaner look I'll just listen to CDs

I had an 02 outback sport with an external antenna and now I have a 04 WRX wagon and I haven't noticed a difference.
