Yes. "mmc" option is feature of original unmodified Nokia linuxrc script and is left in bootmenu as is. For IT2005 and older IT2006 firmware it boots from first (=mmcblk0p1) partition on mmc and there is no fallback to flash in case of failure. Since some IT2006 version it also scans next partitions (for /sbin/init executable) and selects first such one. If nothing it found then maybe it falls back to flash (not sure).
