Yes, that's the correct way; the measurement is in half points.

In a docx, you'd have something like:

<w:rPr>

  <w:sz w:val="28" /> 

</w:rPr>

ECMA 376 spec on @sz defines the unit as ST_HpsMeasure (Measurement in Half-Points)

Its the same with the binary doc format, which HWPF supports. If you look at [MS-DOC], you'll see it also specifies the size of text in half-points.
