I do not know for sure.  I have found nothing to indicate that COM is directly supported.

There may be a misconception out there about what "Metro" means.  Metro is not a library or API, it is a design philosophy.  To ask whether or not Metro supports COM is a fuzzy question that has no clear answer.  COM should be something that is completely abstracted away from Metro.  Maybe the question you should be asking is whether or not the OS running Metro style applications can still support COM.  In most cases so far, yes.
