With the crank and cam gears in the "12 pin"/installation position, yes I think cyl #1 is approx
BDC and the distributor rotor points near to the #6 wire.
If you're going to replace the chain, change the gears too. They wear-in to each other.
FYI, the crankshaft key is at approx 7 o'clock when cyl #1 is at
TDC. (photo 1 below)

. . . don't confuse the chain marks with setting up the distributor at TDC.

You won't be able to line up the distributor cyl #1 rotor position, timing pointer and TDC on the crank pulley until the front of the engine is back together.
