Yes, it seems that the TomTomHome software accesses the mounted FAT-partition
only for updating userdata. Alle other communication goes through a other
usb-connection.

No, the TomTomHome windows software is closed source and while the Linux
distribution (golinux) is open, the GUI back-end is not.
Please have a close look on http://www.tomtom.com/page.php?Page=gpl !
