I don't know. We didn't print out the value of virt_to_phys(urb->transfer_buffer). All I can say is that urb->transfer_dma is the value returned by dma_map_single().

There are no calls to any dma_sync_* routines. Daniel will have to check me on this, but I believe that urb->transfer_buffer is filled before dma_map_single() is called and it isn't touched again until after dma_unmap_single() (which occurs before urb's completion handler is called).
