I'm assuming 'lo' is 'it', and 'vi' is 'saw'.
Duh! Yes, you are of course correct. My excuse for forgetting: familiarity might not always breed contempt, but sometimes it breeds a real lack of observation!
As an aside, archaic (and archaically styled) Spanish is often SVO even with object pronouns. So you'll see things like "díjole" in Quijote.
(It's "te" and not "tu" in French, btw. Tu's only used as a subject.)
