The show is deliberately vague on whether or not Terry O'Quinn's character is the devil -- it's likely that's one of the hooks the show's writers are playing with in their plot arcing.
In many settings, this question has been brought up, and answers are purposefully inconclusive ... for example, Terry O'Quinn, at Comic Con, said:
“He seems, at the moment, pretty evil . . . He doesn’t seem like he’d slow down for a baby in a carriage.”
Executive producer David Wilcox also said:
“He’s not who you’d expect . . . It’ll take some times to figure out who he is.”
(both quotes from an Entertainment Weekly article)
Other promotional materials will say things like "He's positively devilish" and other vague phrases.
It might be useful to think of some of the tropes that this show is relying on in trying to guess the answer to your question -- things like Faust, for example. Of course, the show could either be playing to such a trope, or against it, so there's still no definitive answer -- but it's certainly relevant.
