It depends if they are "DM" or "DMS" units. Both exists.
I'm not aware of anyone storing data that way in the EPSG database. But EPSG
mandate us to express them that way for some CRS (not all of them - mostly the
legacy CRS. Recently-defined CRS all use decimal degrees as far as I know). I
would bet that most implementations ignore this EPSG requirements, but this is
just a guess.
