I doubt udev is the party that mounts it. udev creates the device in
/dev, I don't think it can mount things.
Yes, you are correct.
AFAIU on GNOME this is what happens when a storage device is plugged in:

Sorry, the above sentence was supposed to be: "I am surprised OP's Gnome
doesn't do so."
This, however, may be the issue: your system may be misconfigured, or
this undesirable behaviour

I've noticed that if I right-click a USB memory stick icon on the
