that should be the low side line. actual flow would be from the canister to the condenser.

by canister I assume you mean the drier.

Sorry, but not quite. That is part of the hi side, as is anything else on that side of the compressor. It's high pressure, just not liquid yet until the gas goes through the condensor. It's considered hi side from that side of the compressor all the way back to the evaporator, with the orifice tube being the other dividing line.
Low side is anything from the outlet side of the orifice tube back to the compressor suction.
