Lets say I have a USB storage device which has a virus on it that will infect a Linux pc when it is inserted.

If I insert the USB storage device in my Qubes OS pc after login to Qubes OS, is it then possible for the virus to infect my pc immediately after I have plugged it in before or after attaching the device to a VM ?

I think it depends on how the virus works. For example if it could cause code execution by overflowing the SCSI vendor/model buffer (I'm not saying that this is possible, BTW), it could cause execution even before anything is mounted...
