Yes, and the otoh no. :-) You can mount the disc where-ever you want by changing the command issued by the icon, but the default mount point upon which the CD is mounted is /mnt/cdrom. Changing the device in the icon file is something of a pain, because you have to add the device name and mount point to the /etc/fstab file.
Alternatively you can issue what ever variation on the mount command you fancy 'by hand' from a terminal. Have a play, you can't hurt your computer by mounting devices such as floppies, cdroms, or USB gadgets.
