No, it doesn't. Those are for the automount line, which is not related to your USB stick.

You might try it, but it won't work. I've said it before and I'll say it again:
the noauto option has nothing to do with automatic mounting. If you don't believe me, just read the man page for mount. The
only thing setting the noauto option flag on a device in /etc/fstab will do is prevent it from mounting
on boot. If you don't insert the device until after the system is booted, then this option doesn't do anything.
On modern Linux distributions, automounting when a device is inserted is handled by a volume manager like gnome-volume-manager, ivman, or KDE's storage media manager. Your volume manager should have some settings to adjust what actions are taken when a device is inserted. I don't know anything about the gnome-volume-manager, but I can offer specifics on KDE if you're using that.
