That's what I thought it said on the blow-up diagram, but I wasn't sure and thought it unlikely that a metric camera designed in Japan would use such a size. I didn't feel like opening up a lens just to measure a ball bearing, but I have bits of a partially disassembled body (It gave it's mirror to save another.) at hand. The detent ball for the shutter speed ring is a different size, and metric, at 2.0mm.

\In my 50/1.4, I also lost the detent ball into the carpet, but it isn't 1mm, it's 
exactly 1/16 inch (0.0625").  I was able to measure its diameter, using a 
micrometer, before I lost it trying to install it using tweezers.  I was pressing 
the tweezers too tightly, and the ball escaped with a snap.
