I think we are refering to commits:
fc4c067b53f7 autofs-5.1.7 - make NFS version check flags consistent
26fb6b5408be autofs-5.1.7 - refactor get_nfs_info()
606795ecfaa1 autofs-5.1.7 - also require TCP_REQUESTED when setting NFS
port

Yes they are at the moment.

The aim there is, at some point, to have two seperate cases for NFSv4
mounts, one that may use rpcbind and one that does not such as when
traversing a firewall. Although I'm not clear on it myself the RFC
says, more or less, should (although that might have been must) not
need to use other than the NFS port, so no rpcbind should need to be
used.

Clearly the case seperation hasn't happened yet but I'm pretty sure
the current code did avoid the rpcbind usage for fstype=nfs4 which
is what was asked for at the time and what had been broken somewhere
along the line.
