Yes, displayed but not edited.

Hm, it's disappointing that EXPERT is not mentioned there somewhere, when using menuconfig or nconfig. When using xconfig, and selecting "Virtual terminal" VT, xconfig help does say:
type: bool unknown property: symbol dep: TTY && !UML prompt: Virtual terminal dep: TTY && !UML && EXPERT <<<<< so the prompt depends on EXPERT select: INPUT dep: TTY && !UML default: y dep: TTY && !UML
