Those are created at boot time, by udev.

That depends on how you describe partitions in /etc/fstab. If you use
the device name, then almost certainly yes. If you use the label or
UUID, then no.

An exception would be if you are copying an fstab from one machine to
another. In that case you would almost certainly change UUIDs and
probably labels.
