yep. rotor bearings, e-shaft, stat gear bearings and the oil pump are most likely all junk. trust me, i've seen it before.

just look at them, you will be able to tell. the bearings will be all chewed up and the e-shaft will look like you drug it behind the car for the last 50 miles. oil pump should be smooth but yours will most likely have some pretty nasty gouges in it...
if you do buy new parts to put it back togeather, be sure to flush the oil cooler or that will cost you another motor!

The bearings have a real shine to them so its hard to tell from the pic, but with that amount of material in your pan I would have expected them to be torn up pretty bad and have that copper colored look to them. The E-shaft looks like it got pretty hot on the front journal but if its smooth to the touch it might be okay. I was expecting much worse, but like red87 said, flush out your cooler and lines real well before the re-install.
Is your turbo okay?

All that is bearing material. And there is a load of it.
It's amazing that the e-shaft looks that good, as does the bearings. If they are totally smooth and within spec, no reason not to re-use.
The oil pump will be totalled.
It looks like it all came from the turbo, based on the pattern in the pan. You can see how it sort of streamed down from the drain.
