No, it would be 0.5 ohms.
You'll note that the 200 ohm range can display tenths of an ohm. It will therefore show a decimal point and you will get a reading of whole ohms and tenths of an ohm.

The kilohm ranges, for example 200k, will show readings in kohms. For example 150kohms will be displayed as 150 and will only change every 100 ohms. So the next highest possible reading would be 150,100 ohms or 150.1 on the display.
