Why is the conversion factor so small?

Because pound/cubic yard is a large volume unit and gram/cubic millimeter is a very small volume unit, the conversion factor results in a very small numerical value.

Can I use this conversion for large-scale bulk materials?

Gram per cubic millimeter is mainly intended for micro-scale volumes, so additional unit scaling may be necessary for bulk material densities.

What industries commonly use this conversion?

Industries such as construction, civil engineering, materials science, microfabrication, and MEMS use this conversion to compare densities across different scales.
