No... "site:" isn't a protocol. Not in the same respect that http: or ftp:, etc, is a protocol. site: is just a keyword that Google looks for to know that the search should be limited to a particular web site.

It doesn't matter where it's specified in the string. I've always put it last, and it's always worked for me.

Incidentally, you don't have to guess at how it works... Google has a help page here:
