Yes, this is definitely the case.

mount.8 isn't in my set, but I agree that some text like this would be
useful in the upstream mount.8 page. I have added a sentence to make this
clear in the mount.2 page:
MS_NODIRATIME
Do not update access times for directories on this
file system. This flag provides a subset of the
functionality provided by MS_NOATIME; that is,
MS_NOATIME implies MS_NODIRATIME.
The change will be in man-pages-2.74.
Cheers,
Michael
