Is it true that the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake shortened Earth's day by microseconds and shifted its axis by centimeters?

Yes. A Nature news report states that the 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake accelerated Earth's rotation, shortening the day by about three microseconds, and that NASA researchers estimate Earth now tilts by an extra 2.5 centimetres.
