The 9mm means that the bore is 9mm inside diameter . The bullet will be roughly 9mm or a little more in diameter. The 45 means basically the same, the bore of the barrel is .45 caliber. but the bullet will be anywhere from .451 to .452 in diameter depending on manufacture and on type of metal the bullet is made out of. So basically yes.
