You shouldn't worry about this mistake, because if your company makes billions of dollars, it must be quite to very well-known. The first thing the adcom will notice is the big name of the company and that will paint a clear enough picture of their nature of business and revenue. If they notice the millions-billions mistake, you did the opposite of inflating numbers, so it's clearly not a malicious, deliberate misinformation. Filling out online application is a tedious job and I'm sure they run across careless mistakes all the time, even for HBS.
Like so many of us here every once in a while, you are being too paranoid.

They will not even look at the revenue number of your employer. It is either a company they know or a company they don't know and that is what matters.

Keep in mind that your employer isn't applying, you are. I assume that the Adcom is interested in your employer's revenue, b/c it is included on the application. However, I can't imagine it plays a significant role compared to your experience and the challenges you overcame while working there. I think you should focus on how your efforts contributed to the company's revenue, whatever that number may be.
I wouldn't contact the Adcom and point out the mistake, especially before you've received an invitation to interview. The application policy says that you can't make any changes to an app after it's submitted and you don't want them to think that you believe you deserve an exception to the rule. It would probably do more harm than good imho.
