Yes, that is a normal drain amount. I measured it while watching the effects of my solar trickle charger on the 12V battery.
Also keep in mind that even without any devices drawing current the battery still leaks some charge through gassing off. This is true for all rechargeable battery types but it is especially an issue with unsealed batteries. Most autos, including the Yaris, come with an unsealed battery (flooded lead acid).
