Yes. That's a feature, not a bug: it means the person mounting the device has control of the permissions on the base of the mounted filesystem. There are a number of common approaches, but the two most common are to either have the users mount the devices within their own filesystems, or use fbtab(5) (or Xsetup, etc., as appropriate) to give the console user the ownership of /cdrom.
