Looks like it.  If so, the file system supports both UUID and volume
label.

Only by hacking up a script yourself.  The problem is that there's
more than one Android phone in the world, and you might have two of
them.  So it's unlikely that something based on type of device will be
available by default.

For the UUID or volume label methods, see tune2fs(8).
