They are not mounted. These are just bookmarks that use gnome-vfs to
connect to the shares. To have the bookmarks show up in the file
chooser in an application, the application has to use gnome-vfs
explicitly. This is why they show up in some programs, like gedit, but
not in others.

If you want to actually mount network shares in the filesystem, you
should look into FUSE.
