Looks like PC users will have full access to the contents of your USB stick.

Besides, the hidden attribute of your volume can be easily overriden (Goto Folder, Search for visible+invisible, utilities that allow enabling the viewing of hidden files)

All users will have full access to the contents of your USB stick, not just PC users. But the 'contents' of your USB stick are an encrypted disk image, hence the 'simulate' part :)
