Yes. I have no idea whether it is a licensed copy or a clone, though.

Not necessarily in any -- Rockwell made chips for a heck of a lot more
stuff than Commodore computers. If it was used in a Commodore drive,
it would most likely have been the 1571 or 1581, since AFAIK those
are the only drives they made that supported industry-standard MFM.
