the DRM thing is completely seperate, you can chose to have DRM or not as an author, but that has nothing to do with simultaneous device usage which is set by the publisher. Amazon is your publisher if you use their system to publish your books.

edit to add:
Amazon Kindle phone support:
Amazon Kindle customer service: 1-866-321-8851

It was my impression that if they use DRM an author/publisher has to specify an actual number for the device usage category and if they don't use DRM it's set to unlimited since they can't choose a number. Therefore making unlimited usage a viable indicator to a titles DRM status.
