Dime = 4 corner backs, 2 safeties. Played against teams who lineup their RB at WR, or have 4 WRs on the field at the same time.

Essentially, Rey M is too slow to guard a WR or RB.

Generally speaking, yes.

More specifically it is 5 DBs and 6 DBs respectively, regardless of position in the backfield.

For example, if you want to roll with 5 corners and 1 safety, it is still a dime defense.  Or 3 corners and 3 safeties, still dime coverage.
