Yes, it's certainly installed, and I have the following processes running:-

    root      2481     1  0 Mar16 ?        00:00:03 /usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon
    root      2483  2481  0 Mar16 ?        00:00:10 udisks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0

... and when I plug in a USB stick:-

    root      2481     1  0 Mar16 ?        00:00:03 /usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon
    root      2483  2481  0 Mar16 ?        00:00:10 udisks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 /dev/sdd
