This depends on which packets you inspect the payload of.
If you inspect the ESP packets, then yes, they will be encrypted under IPsec.
If you inpect the HTTP/FTP/SMTP/whatever packets which come out of the tunnel
on the other side, then no, they will not be encrypted (unless, of course,
you send ssh or https through your IPsec tunnel).
