If all 5 leads (filament and the HV secondary) are disconnected and you still read the voltage between them then yes, it is likely you have the short (and a simple ohmmeter check would confirm this with certainty).
Which would suck of course, so then you need either to rewind or to replace the xfmr.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
