It's supposed to be but ... when I did this I forgot to take into account the raised section in the middle of the bottom of the sensor - a dimple hammered out by the magnet inside. Consequently the outer area of the sensor was correctly gapped but not the middle that protruded through the hole in the middle of the washer. Subsequently I trashed a new sensor on the flywheel. It made me very angry.
If your sensor is flat it's okay to do the washer trick.
If not - work out how much the area in the middle is raised by and add it to the .8mm washer to compensate. Ie. If the dimple is .1mm then add a .9mm washer to allow for this.
If you are replacing the sensor anyway you might want to use the old one to make up a tool for spot on fuss-free gapping.
