Yes, it does.

I also use mate on my systems. You don't need usbmount nor pmount on a
system that has udisks/udisks2.
The original intention with usbmount was to use in headless computers (like
a NAS, a small server, or something like that, where you want as few
dependencies as possible).
I think that that role is, nowadays, fulfilled by udisks2 and usbmount
should, perhaps, die. (Or other people adopt it).

That should happen without problems (provided that usbmount doesn't leave
any udev rule files that conflict with udisks2).
Hope this helps,
