Yes.
For adding more decimal places, we have to change the consensus rules and a hard fork would be required.
According to consensus rules, the amount field in a bitcoin transaction must be an integer between 0 and 2100000000000000 and we can't send 0.1 satoshi or 0.01 satoshi.

Correct me if I'm wrong — but couldn't this be done in the wallet side of things? As it's mostly just moving of decimal places anyway.
