Greetings, john daintree!

Nop. The actual mapping depends on your settings, but defaults to /tmp which
is inside Cygwin installation root.
Another option is to mount /tmp with 'usertemp' option, which would then
redirect it to the user's %TEMP%.

What is your question, exactly?
What you want to achieve and what your actual observation compared to expected
behavior?
