Yeah. The MMer sees it as a single; a short call. He lays it off (covers it) (or) buys half shares (straddle conversion) or some other hedge to flatten his delta. Regardless of whether it's a synthetic short put or he only sees the short call; the only difference is buying or selling the shares.
To take it one step further, there's the somewhat interesting theory of Cem, that the options are the real underlying.
