Yep
See supported charset:

Mangle any character not on a whitelist using mangling_mode when processing
device-mapper device names and UUIDs. The names and UUIDs are mangled on
input and unmangled on output where the mangling mode is one of: auto
(only do the mangling if not mangled yet, do nothing if already mangled, error
on mixed), hex (always do the mangling) and none (no mangling). Default mode
is auto. Character whitelist: 0-9, A-Z, a-z, #+-.:=@_. This whitelist is also
supported by udev. Any character not on a whitelist is replaced with its
hex value (two digits) prefixed by \x. Mangling mode could be also set
through DM_DEFAULT_NAME_MANGLING_MODE environment variable.
---
Udev create symlinks from UUID - so they need to be using udev-supported
chars - and you '!' in UUID -> unsupported and needs mangling.
