fitting's marked 1/8, that's the tubing size I'm matching to, right? just want to make sure I'm ordering the right nut before I pull the trigger

For compression fittings, the size refers to the outer diameter of the tubing it's meant to work with, so yes, 1/8 is the tubing size you'd be matching. This nut threads onto the mating fitting body and pulls the ferrule down tight against the tubing to form a seal. No flaring or soldering needed, which makes it pretty straightforward to work with on small-bore lines.
