Not exactly right, (I am really sorry to disagree with you), but it depends on the construction method.

Mine is screwed onto fiberglass deck with screws that have the cover as you mention, and is also glued with special whatever I don't know the name.
The screws were filled with sealant before tighteneing, and DO NOT protrude on the other side (interior) of my FG deck.
