It actually was almost completely by definition. The plot didn't really move forward. We already knew that Walt was in hiding, his family hated him, the Nazis were running the show, Jesse was captive and that Walt was going to go back to NewMexico... the only thing added was Skylar's legal problems. Nothing else changed.
The episode filled in details around plot aspects we were already aware of in the past episodes. That makes it filler.
I'm not saying that it wasn't interesting or necessary though. I liked the episode on it's own. I am not entirely sold of the direction of the last half of the season in general though. Still the best show on TV IMO, but not beyond criticism.
