Assuming you’d have paid £ 448, then yes, it’s 5p per Avios.
Note the cash fare shown early in the booking process may increase or reduce as you go through the booking process. The £ 448 might have been replace with a somewhat lower price nearer the checkout phase. However, I’ve never seen anything drop by £333! And in fact, I don’t recall the price changing downwards on shorthaul ever in my experience, but I have seen it go up.
