Yes, it's also the default Quicktime pitchbend resolution.
According to

So, don't use the Quicktime browser plugin for playing
microtuned MIDI files!

It does say though, that if you set the pitch bend depth to 1 instead of the
default 2, you'd get 64 per semitone, or 768/octave which I think a few
modules have as their resolution.

That web page was last updated in November 1998, and is talking about a
plugin for Windows 95. The QuickTime Musical Instrument spec, last I knew,
allows for 256 steps per semitone, or 3072 notes an octave. The plugin
MIGHT be different, but I don't see why it should be.
