Yup.
The shape of the pre-fab line is to keep it low nad away from the head and still give the gravity flow the path it needs. It's steel -- copper will get brittle over time and crack -- so if you want to make your own, brake line is good stuff.
Rubber line will work, but one of the others mentioned, and I'd agree, marine grade fuel line will serve better.
As for inline filters . . . other have touched on that, as well. I'm not sure what problem you have with the sediment bowl. The screen on the top of it is a pretty good filter all by itself. From the factory, there was a second screen in the elbow into the carb that served as a backup. Worked pretty well as long as the tractor was working.
Tractors that have set around or accumulated a lot of crud in the tank, that can be another issue, but I still kinda favor the sediment bowl. If the screen gets plugged up while working, it's something you can clean in the field. Can't do that with a plugged up inline can filter.
If your preference is stilll for the inline can, go for it, just heed the advice someone else gave that it be of a type intended for gravity feed systems.
