bloody hell (i always wanted to type that!) When you spouted the metric stuff i had to jump on ya!

That looks like the 2 alignment pins that help align the head to the block. Take a close look at the 2nd pic in my FS thread. Top row of the 10 holes around the perimeter of the valve chambers. Number 2 and 4

Looks more like the balancing thing from the rocker arms. On the intake side of your valve head you have the 2 arms to push your intake valves open. In between them should be a shorter arm, check all of those shorter arms.

They have that balancing weight in them... something about when Vtec kicks in, a current runs through these weights and synchronizes the valve arms with it to run on your vtec lobe (the larger lobes on your camshaft). Something like that But yeah, looks like the tiny metal that goes in that middle arm.
