So the lower the 6 digit number, the earlier the car was made?

The only way to tell when your car was built is the DOM in the door sticker. This gives you the month and year. In order to get more specific you would have to contact someone at Honda to find out what date(s) it was built.
Most vehicles take anywhere from 30-40 hours of assebmly time.
Your dealer could tell you exactly what days the car was in production by accessing the Honda system.
In some cases the VIN may be sequential in the "paper" phase. In other words. When Honda recieves the order the VIN is generated. So the VIN's are sequential in the order phase. But then the vehicle is scheduled for production based on order number, color, equipment, dealer status and so on.... At that point they're given a "tracking" number. This is the assembly sequence.

Besides, sometimes a vehicle is damaged in production, maybe the roof got screwed up in process (dented, burn holes from missaligned welding equipment). They won't scrap the car. They'll pull it of the line, remove the damage roof, and replace it. Then the car gets put back in the production sequence. If it takes a day to fix it, then the car obviously is way out of sequence possibly 400 cars or more.
