Using dev=/dev/cdrom is dprecated and unsupported. It may work in some
conditions but there is no guarantee.
The dev=/dev/cdrom will not work at all on many operating systems and even
on UNIX-like systems, there are dvices without a dedicated device driver
that for this reason don't have any /dev/* entry.

It is correct, but in case you only have one drive in your system,
there is no need to spesify dev= at all.
