Looks like the crumbs of a bronze or copper bushing or washer.
Check inside pleats of oil filter.
Unfortunately yes, classic signs of rod bearing failure.
If bike sits for any amount of time, I tell riders to crank over with kill switch depressed for a good 5 seconds before starting.
It builds oil pressure. Easier on plain bearings over a dry start
Yes, 100% rod bearing
