If I can see in /etc/fstab on a SLES12 machine: 

/dev/vg/lvtmp   /tmp                 xfs       defaults,nodev,nosuid 0 0

that means the "/tmp" will never get fsck'ed?

As stated in fstab(5) man page

The sixth field (fs_passno).
          This field is used by fsck(8) to determine the order in which
          filesystem checks are done at boot time.  The root filesystem
          should be specified with a fs_passno of 1.  Other filesystems
          should have a fs_passno of 2.  Filesystems within a drive will
          be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives
          will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism
          available in the hardware.  Defaults to zero (don't fsck) if
          not present.

The fs_passno is used by the fsck program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time. That is, if the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
