Yes, the list is defined by the StorageType enum (file/block sub-type is
also specified):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/master/backend/manager/modules/common/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/common/businessentities/storage/StorageType.java
I don't see we expose it through the sdk though.

If not specified, the volume type should fallback to its default value,
which is thin.
So it's depended on your use-case...
