Correct. {vI'} was introduced on SkyBox card S33:
HovpoH Hut vagh cha' wa' vI' jav Dujvam 'aghlu'pu' 'ach Qaw'lu'pu'
[This ship was demonstrated on Stardate 9521.6 but it was destroyed. (untranslated)] (S33)
Many more examples later appeared on the Bird-of-Prey poster with verbs of measurement:
cha' vI' vagh choQmey lutoghlu'
Number of Decks: 2.5 (KBoP)
wejvatlh loSmaH loS vI' vagh wej 'uj 'aD Duj
Length: 120 M. (KBoP)
loSmaH jav vI' Soch loS 'uj 'ab meH

'aqroS qughDo: pIvlob Hut vI' vagh
Maximum Cruising Speed - Warp 9.5 (KBoP)
jabbI'ID pup: Qapchu'meH 'aqroS chuq: cha' vI' chorgh loghqammey
High Resolution - Maximum Effective Range - 3.5 Light Years. (KBoP)
BTW: Don't confuse {vI'} with {DoD} "mark," the separator between the two parts of a coordinate bearing or heading:
He pagh-pagh-pagh-DoD-cha' yInab!
Plot course zero-zero-zero, mark two. (ST5)
He wej pagh Soch DoD cha'
course 3-0-7-mark-2 (st.k 11/21/99)
{DoD} is also used on the KLI list as the separator between parts of TKD section numbers: e.g. TKD 4.3.
