Q. Can the ground wire from a ground rod terminate in the meter socket enclosure, or must it terminate in the service disconnect?

A. Either location is fine with the NEC. The rule states that the grounding electrode conductor must connect the service neutral conductor to the grounding electrode at any accessible location, from the load end of the service drop or service lateral up to and including the service disconnecting means [250.24(A)(1)].
