yes the smaller the micron the finer the grit.
micron is its own scale/system, forgot to mention that the common name is scary sharp, you can buy a set of sheets from workshop heaven, I’d recommend 100, 40 then 15 micron, as a starting point, it might seem expensive but it’s well worth it, especially if like me you were having problems getting it absolutely perfectly flat.
