No. What the above lines are saying to DosBox is something like this:
"Hey, DosBox! You know that drive Windows is calling F? That's a
cdrom drive. Let's mount it and call it drive D."

This command:

mount C C:\sierra\gob2

means something like this:

"Hey, DosBox! You know that Windows folder called C:\games\goblins?
Let's mount that folder as a drive and call that drive C." (DoxBox
won't know anything about the rest of the C drive. It'll be as if you
had a small hard drive that only contained the contents of that gob2
folder.)

I hope that helps to make the mounting process a bit clearer.
