It is hard to tell from the picture. But one thing is that it has no flashing between the deck and house.

As you are in GA, you should checkout the Gwenette County guidelines for decks. I'll try to post it later if you can not find it on Google.

This is a great guide for decks that is from the American Wood Council. They have several fee downloads.
