Yes, after the kernel is booted.
This is actually the same for all filesystems. Once the kernel is
booted, it mounts the filesystems according to options provided in
various places (/etc/fstab is the most direct place). One of those
options is the "type." In your case, the type would be "smbfs." But then
you would have to provide the username and password as options. You
would also have to specify where to mount from (which Windows computer
and the name of the shared drive).
By the way, regarding your original post, it appears you may have a
misunderstanding of the relationship between the samba service and the
smbfs module.
The samba service allows your Linux computer to export directory shares
to Windows computers. It does not interact in any way with the smbfs
module, or with mounting smbfs filesystems.
The smbfs module is a samba client, which means it can import Windows
directory shares to local mount points. It does not share local
directories with other computers, though.
