I don't know about other cameras, I have k200d, but I can see the preflash when I use 2sec timer: the pre-flash goes off when I press shutter release, the main flash goes off 2 sec later. When shooting normally, I can't see the gap between the two.
This is true for 2 flashes I have 360 and Metz 48.
When using the on board flash on my K200d, I can see the preflash in the viewfinder. It must be the pre-flash as the mirror should be up when the flash goes up. Hence if you see the flash through the viewfinder, it must be the pre-flash....
