$p(x = 1|μ) = μ$
to denote the probability of a single binary random variable x = 1.
"|" usually means "condition on", is this what it does mean here?

Yes, that means that the probability of the event $x=1$ given that the parameter $\mu$ is equal to $\mu$ (another words, given the value of $\mu$) is equal to $\mu$.
