It is spelled out here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createtrigger.html

"The trigger can be specified to fire before the operation is attempted
on a row (before constraints are checked and the INSERT, UPDATE, or
DELETE is attempted); or after the operation has completed (after
constraints are checked and the INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE has
completed); or instead of the operation (in the case of inserts, updates
or deletes on a view)."

So the INSERT has completed in an AFTER trigger.
