From ntfs-3g upstream: yes, depending on the kernel version and other issues, the file system type (fstype) can be: fuse, fuseblk, fuse.ntfs-3g and fuseblk.ntfs-3g.

The 'ntfs-3g' sub part of the fstype should stay in the future but it's not available yet in stable Linux kernels, only in Linus' development tree. This FUSE feature was added recently to help the identification of the user space fstype by e.g. mount helpers and make its detection independent of FUSE's internal evolution, e.g. the introduction of the new, additional fuseblk FUSE fstype which was required for safe block devices support.
