Yes the filings are ground up magnet. I wish I could have just replaced the magnets because the module tests fine. I bought a new 2Ki module this afternoon for 190 and a new rotor for 9 with free shipping.
I'm debating splicing the new module into the existing wiring instead of rewiring everything.

Update:
I put on the new module and rotor today and once I found TDC it fired right up. The first time I found TDC, it didn't leave me enough movement in the module to use the bolt holes. I spun the motor around a full rotation to the next time it hit TDC and then it worked. I didn't use the VOES or tach wire so it was a simple 3 wire hookup to the coil and done.
Tip for the day: If you need to replace the rubber bushings for your gas tank brackets, Tractor Supply has grommets that fit perfectly with a little trimming. About a dollar a piece.

On a four stroke you only get a firing impulse every other TDC.

Is VOES really worthwhile to have? (my bike was EFI, converted to carb). I never hooked up a VOES switch (was extra cost @ the time when I did the conversion...didnt have the extra $ for the sensor). AFAIK, with my dyna ignition, all VOES does is ramp the timing faster (or slower) based on vacuum. I can accomplish the same thing by either grounding the VOES wire, or leaving it disconnected (for either slow ramp or fast ramp)
