Yes, and this is important.

Each customer site can have as many Windows, OS X, and Linux PCs on its internal LAN.
They automatically configure their IPv6 address (unless their IPv6 is not enabled), and then communicate in IPv6 with all servers that are IPv6 enabled (Google servers in particular) without users even noticing it.

Having only a /64 in a residential site starts having consequences only if there is a need to install several LANs that are strictly independent (i.e. LANs that are not, like most Wifi and other Ethernet LANs, linked by layer 2 switches).
Only sophisticated users would notice any limitation.
