Correct.  'nodev' as a mount option just controls whether or not you can 
create device-special files (like those you might find in /dev) on that 
volume.

Confusingly, 'nodev' in /proc/filesystems determines whether or not that 
filesystem gets tried during mount if no -t option (to specify the 
filesystem type) is specified, or '-t auto' is given.
