If the software is Wine-aware, it doesn't matter. The \\unix\ filesystem namespace allows programs running under Wine to access the host filesystem whether it's mapped as a drive or not. And, of course, since Wine Is Not an Emulator, it could also use POSIX APIs or Linux kernel syscalls directly if it wanted to.
