That was my understanding.

The matrix number is the number used internally by the manufacturing plant
to keep track of the specific metal parts used, labels, etc.
Is this though the number etched/stamped into the vinyl towards the innermost ring? Is this what "Matrix" primarily will mean in English? Would this be primarily the number audiophiles would want to use for some reason?
