Yes, it's one of a wide range of prepositions that can occur with an NP complement or without. Others include "before", "beneath", "opposite", "throughout", "underneath" "without" and such like. Such prepositions generally belong to the domain of space, though some like "before" can express time, as does "beyond" in the sense used in your example.
