Yeah, the current positive test rate is relatively low because much we already had 6k deaths (approximately 5x the death rate of our neighbours Norway, Denmark and Finland per capita, iirc) and loads of infected people at risk for chronical diseases. So yes - there is some level of herd immunity already (although mostly in Stockholm/Uppsala/Linköping/Göteborg).
We also do a lot less less tests than our neighbouring countries. Denmark in particular is really good at getting testing done, which is also a reason why they are seeing a spike in their results the past few weeks.
