yes, no, kind of. Shotguns have a special way to calculate status. Status is calculated per pellet. So if you have 40% status and 9 pellets, each pellet will have 4.44% status chance. This means a few things: on average, you will get as many procs as with a single shot weapon with the same status chance. But you can get multiple procs per shot, as each pellet may proc on its own.

Also if you get more then 100% status (ie 136%, by using all 4 60% mods, which wont be displayed in the arsenal screen!) each pelltet will have a proc chance of 15.11%, but each shot will not have a guaranteed proc (what they would with a normal weapon)! On average you will, of cause, get one proc on each shot, but also another every third shot (which you wont ever get with a normal weapon with the same status chance).

Its basically the same as with multishot on normal weapons. Each bullet will get the base status chance and can proc, but the arsenal displays the sum of those chances regardless. Same for multishot on shotguns. You take the base status, apply the status mods, divide by the BASE number of pellets, which will result in the status per pellet. now every pellet gets that status chance even those produced by multishot. but the arsenal only displays the sum of ALL the chances.
