Wouldn't it be possible to place a filter at your meter that would shunt

No. BPL signals are already filtered out by distribution transformers.
In order for BPL to work, there are relaying devices installed at the
transformer.

The explanation depends on a particular deployment topology, but the answer
remains NO for other deployment topologies as well.
