usbfs is a virtual filesystem, like proc. It gives you information about
connected USB devices by presenting it as part of the filesystem.

Try mounting /dev/sdb. I've seen Windows format the raw device without setting
up a partition table -- this is how floppies work usually, so Windows probably
carried the concept over to other removable media.
