No.  usbdevfs is available if you configured CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS when
you compiled the kernel.

Try:

mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb

Or add:

none            /proc/bus/usb   usbdevfs        defaults        00

to your /etc/fstab.

The "right docs(tm)" would be found at 

http://www.linux-usb.org

You'll find almost everything that you need there, for most normal
purposes.  I don't know how special your case may be.  But good luck!
