David,
Here is what DoCoMo's own site says about it:
"Method of payment:
<1> Advanced payment service (members only)
By inserting cash into the Cmo vending machine, members can deposit funds
into a special account on the Cmode server for use with subsequent cashless
purchases.
<2> Point service (members only)
Users can pay for Cmode services through points accumulated in their special
member accounts.
<3> Cash
Users may pay for Cmode services by inserting cash into the Cmo vending
machine.
Trial service contents:
- Gourmet Pia Coupon (Pia Digital Communications Corporation)
- Pia street map Coupon (Pia Digital Communications Corporation)
- TSUTAYA rental ranking + Coupon (TSUTAYA online Corporation)
- Future telling Coupon (Index Corporation)
- linkage contents with Arcade Games (SEGA CORPORATION) "
I think that you will agree that option 1 very definitely is a micropayment
system.
You can see the full story at:

I think Thomas already included this link in one of his posts, actually.
Cheers,
Nik
