This might be helpful reading:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/overview.html

> If yes, is there a way we can get the final transformed query?

See debug_print_parse and friends [1].  Depending on what you mean by
"final transformed query", you might instead want debug_print_rewritten,
or maybe you want the plan, in which case EXPLAIN is a much friendlier
way to look at it than debug_print_plan.
