Not really: /etc/fstab is currently used [1] as criteria to detect
whether the content of a partition is the root of a Linux installation.

To check what the inspection of libguestfs would find in an image, run
the 'virt-inspector' standalone tool and check the <mountpoints> and
<filesystems> tags in the resulting XML.

[1] src/inspect-fs.c, check_filesystem function
