Right, you can use metal, concrete board, anything non-combustible as a heat shield depending on your clearances of the stove and how you have it installed.
I put a piece of aluminum above my pipe since I had very tight clearance going into the chimney and the ceiling. Spaced it about 1" away with spacers and it worked fine. The wood/ceiling behind it wasn't even warm to the touch.
