This is certainly a reference to Jesus, but there is a pattern in Revelation where a flashback to the past occurs to get a snapshot of the history, then it moves forward again. The second half of the verse, and the verse immediately following are:

and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

Because of the symbolism reflected from the OT, the woman has been interpreted by both Protestants and Catholics as Israel. The twelve stars ( See Revelation 12:1) are interpreted by Scripture to be a reference to Joseph's dream in Genesis 37:9

And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

Jacob (Israel) picks up the reference, and responds:

And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

Joseph is a foreshadowing of Jesus in some very real ways, though Jesus is born from the tribe of Judah, whose tribal flag included a lion.
