Oh yes, water will flow through 1mm hole with ease. How much how fast

depends on the pressure in the system. Good point about possible air locks ... Except the air can pass through the hole and the water can rise to the hole if there is pressure behind it. But still a good thought to put the hole low to make it easier to flow.
