Am I to understand that a good wine filter such as the Boun types will
eliminate the need for clearing the wine, that the filter is going to
remove all the haze and dead yeast and stuff and get me a clarified
wine? if so, I am buying one tommorrow.

NO! Before filtering the wine need to be already clear. A wine that
is trouble will only clog your filter pads very fast and will cause you
many problem to filter. The result wine will not be cleared because of
the damage filter pad structure. The filtration is the last step you
should do to your wine before bottling. It help to stabilise the wine
color and clarity by removing such very small particules that you do
not necessarely see but that could drop in the bottle later and form a
sediment. The wine will be crystal clear this way.
