Yes. But maybe "mount flags" is too narrow?
It is up to the filesystem what precisely it does.
What about

remount
Attempt to remount an already-mounted file
system. This is commonly used to change the
mount flags for a file system, especially to
make a readonly file system writeable. It
does not change device or mount point.
