Not conclusively for all situations... You can have an fstab file that doens't mention labels, yet the drives have them (they're just not being made use of). Of course, if your fstab is mounting partitions by labels, then you do have them. e2label is another command that you can use to read and write labels (for ext2 and ext3 partitions). I'd always check with a tool for reading them before making assumptions about them. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
