AFAIK, by default no, they won't. This is typically done by the graphical DE. 
Namely, if there is no user currently logged in the desktop GUI, it is not 
obvious which user should be set as owner of the files in the mount point.

However, I think this can be configured so that things get automounted with a 
pre-specified owner etc. Google is your friend. ;-)

HTH, :-)
