Yes, that #2 is a groove across the drum that holds the whole drum at that location for neutral via the detent ball/spring. It is a big enough groove that you can feel it with your toe through your shoe, but not so big that the drum can wander around. And if there were a properly located groove between 5th and 6th then it should probably work as a neutral up there as well.

I'm not sure if the other gears have detents, maybe. If you get a look in the hole and shift through the gears you will know.
