Using only setFilter() is enough only when you are using a logical
expression (e.g. ([FIELDNAME] > 10) ) but in order to use constant
expressions like you do (or regex expressions) then you have to set
'filteritem' to the name of the field that the expression applies to. 

  $layer->set("filteritem", "FIELDNAME");
