Yes, M8 is 8mm OD, M10 is 10mm OD, etc.

I just measured some caliper holes last night. M10 and M12 seemed to be the 
right choices. I will measure some actual bolts tonight, but I expect them to 
be the same. 

Perhaps this is why your M8 tapped holes seemed loose, but I would have 
expected an M8 bolt to just fall straight thru an M10 x 1.5 threaded hole.
