No, it won't. Udev is responsible for creating device nodes for newly connected hardware. Any auto-mounting software doesn't get into the picture until
after device nodes have already been assigned.

For the record, there's no such thing as
the auto mounter. There are lots of ways to automatically mount filesystems. In fact, I've personally used at least four different ways. Some are related to fstab, some aren't. If you want any meaningful comparison, you're going to have to at least specify
which auto-mounting system you're talking about.
