no - why should it?
the "mount.cifs" command has little to do with samba itself

https://www.kernel.org/doc/readme/Documentation-filesystems-cifs-README

[root at fileserver:~]$ locate cifs.ko
/usr/lib/modules/4.0.6-200.fc21.x86_64/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko.xz
[root at fileserver:~]$ lsmod | grep cifs
