That´s absolutly correct.

To make use of the label in /etc/fstab use (according to this example)
<----------------------------------------------------------------
LABEL=store      /store         ext3    defaults        0       2

instead of

/dev/hdb4       /store         ext3    defaults        0       2
---------------------------------------------------------------->


to use it manually in cli:
<----------------------------------------------------------------
/bin/mount LABEL=store /store
---------------------------------------------------------------->
