You can call it a graze as well, yes.
I've never heard that in the US. Something moving (say, a ball or a
person) can graze something else (say, a wall) if it just barely
touches it, but I wouldn't use it reflexively like that and I wouldn't
use it to describe an injury. My hand can graze your knee, but you
can't.
"It was just a graze" said the soldier bravely.
