Indeed it is possible to use UDTs with the mapper (docs <http://datastax.github.io/java-driver/manual/object_mapper/creating/#mapping-user-types>). Pojos are annotated with @UDT and their fields are mapped with @Field (like table pojos are annotated with @Table and @Column respectively). You are correct in that you can then use that type for a field on a @Table annotated class.
