Not quite.  From 'man mount':

 Thus, given a line
   /dev/cdrom  /cd  iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide
 any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM using the
 command
  mount /dev/cdrom
 or
  mount /cd
 For  more details, see fstab(5).  Only the user that mounted a filesys-
 tem can unmount it again.  If any user should be able to unmount,  then
 use users instead of user in the fstab line.  The owner option is simi-
 lar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be  the
 owner  of  the  special  file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a
 login script makes the console user owner of this device.
