I think you're getting confused here about the difference between chains and 
tables.

Chains are normally named in uppercase; standard ones are INPUT, OUTPUT, 
PREROUTING, POSTROUTING, FORWARD.   User-defined chains can of course be 
added.

Tables are normally named in lowercase; standard ones are filter, nat, mangle.   
Adding a user-defined table is quite a significant programming task, and not 
to be assumed in a reasonably standard configuration of netfilter :)

The 'filter' table should exist in any healthy netfilter install.

Regards,

Antony.
