No. It isn't mounted by you. You own it (at least this directory). Use

find / -xdev -uid 1000

to find out if more files are owned by that user. Just to be save, repeat it 
on /usr, too. If you find files with wrong ownership, run

find / -xdev -uid 1000 -exec chown root:root {} \;

NOTE: This assumes you don't have a single partition for everything. If you 
have one single, large partition for everything, mounted as /, you may want 
to exclude some directories from the search (i.e. /home, see man find for 
details).

HTH...
