Yes, this is what happens. Unfortunately there is no way to predict how
long a USB disk is going to take to be detected, if it ever is, so this
is not an easy problem to solve.

No, the list starts with "no" which means that on the contrary, it
really specifies a list of filesystem types that will not be mounted.
ext3 and others will be mounted fine by this, changing this line won't
solve the problem.
