You're still confusing partition types with filesystem types here. Disk
Druid may ask you for a mount point but that is the only option that has
anything to do with filesystems. The "Linux native" option listed is the
partition type and refers to 0x83 as opposed to 0x82 for "Linux swap" or
0x06 for "DOS FAT16".
