Dino679,
The air filter/regulator you linked to would go between the air outlet of the compressor and the hose.
I can't tell for sure but the right hand cylinder on the assembly appears to be an oiler which you do not want for a home compressor.
Also it appears to be a Harbour Freight item that you may be able to get more info on.
They don't say what size or type of connections are on the unit but you will need to purchase fittings to make it work.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but why wouldn't you use an oiler for a home compressor? I have two lines connected to my compressor at home - both filtered and regulated with one line oiled and one not. For my air tools, I use the oiled line and for tires/clean up, I use the oiless one.

WheelingMike,
Some people use oilers with good results but I find that they tend to over oil.
Even with an inline filter, moisture will accumulate in the hose, combine with the oil and make a mess.
One drop of tool oil for every couple of hours use is plenty.
