The 'nocheck' affects the kernel checking upon mount, not fsck.

It's the CHECK_STRICT/CHECK_NORMAL options you see in balloc.c and super.c

Specifically:
fs/ext2/super.c: ext2_setup_super():

if (test_opt (sb, CHECK)) {
ext2_check_blocks_bitmap (sb);
ext2_check_inodes_bitmap (sb);
}

So fstab has no bearing.
