Sure it will.

At the end of udev.rules:

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", MODALIAS=="*", \
        RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $modalias"

This gets run for all usb devices to *try* and load a driver. It's running
before the kernel could know whether or not a driver is kenrel or
userspace.

Perhaps the udev docs need some help.
