Yes,
Anything in /etc/fstab/ should be mounted on start-up.

This is out of my league as I have never used NIS, however as far as I know, NIS kinda makes it so every computer on the network seems like it is all on the same computer. So, if I change my username and password on my computer it changes on all computers on the network.
The mounting of a server just gives you access to that server like it is a diretory on your system. So, I don't see it being a problem, but someone with NIS experience should really answer this one....sorry if I was no help.
