The thing you have circled is the filler neck the pump housing is what the pump is bolted to

your lucky because i just changed mine! i blew my water pump and my heater hose while chasing after a 3000gt vr4 believe it or not i had him anyways.....it's not that hard new water pump is about $70 and all you need to do is drain your radiator...the engine block and then you take off the fan and the pulleys to get to the water pump and thats about it should take about half a day not too bad =) good luck!!

Theres also a plastic phillups screw,drain plug on bottom of radiator which is easier to get a bucket under, so u dont make a mess!
( while it wont completly drain the block, it will drain it lower than than the water pump housing, so it works for this) |

( while it wont completly drain the block, it will drain it lower than than the water pump housing, so it works for this) yes that would be a good idea to drain the radiator first but that does not drain the block |

no need to drain the block BTW, nothing proper about it. just take off the rad cap, and remove the radiator drain plug. itll bring the coolant level down pretty far and youll have less chance of a massive air bubble, which is mroe likely if you drain the whole block.
