What you mean is that Android devices don't present themselves as a block device, i.e. we don't have access to either logical or physical sectors, therefore we can't load a partition table or even find file system superblocks. It's kinda like only being able to mount a share via NFS, rather than as iSCSI.
Correct, I meant as a block device. However MTP isn't even as capable as NFS since it doesn't allow random access for writes (not sure about reads). Files can only be written in their entirety or deleted. mtpfs and similar interfaces try to make it look as filesystem-like as possible using caching, but it's still important to keep this in mind.
