There is no facility to watch individual block devices, and there will probably never be such a thing in systemd. Systemd, as the very last step at system reboot/shutdown tries to stop/disassemle/unmount all active mounts/mapper/loop/... devices, but that works only for simple storage setups and has no hooks for other tools.
