Is there an easy way to find this out in Linux?

How would I confirm this?
As you discovered, that basically means telling Nautilus (for the Gnome desktop) not to auto-mount it as an attached device.
It isn't really, it is a networked device using the MTP protocol, not a USB device using USBMS. But the Gnome Virtual Filesystems (GVfs) implementation fakes it, which is how it shows up in Nautilus.

I am unaware of any way to tell Nautilus/GVfs to ignore specific MTP devices.
