Row heights are measured in points. There are 72 points to an inch.

The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average
number
of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell.

No relationship between the two.

If you want to use VBA to set height and width in mm....

Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions.
