I am not an expert on the inward workings of iptables but I would assume
that you do.  The NAT targets will change the source and destination
addresses but the packets (at least the first packet in the case of
connection tracking) must traverse the FORWARD chain of the filter
table.  It will pass through that table with the real address so there
must be a rule to allow access to the real address.

If someone tells you otherwise, listen to them :-)
