If by Single user mode you mean the "Emergency"- or "Multiuser"-mode/.target then: no.
Those are 'init 1' or 'init 3', while the DE requires Graphical.target (init 5).

Init 1: Wont let you login, you're automaticly root (no other TTY's)
Init 3: Requires textual login for any passed loginname (multiple TTY's)
Init 5: Should prompt you with a graphical login screen (multiple TTY's)

By pressing ctrl+alt+f2 you're simply accessing TTY 2.
By default, a distro 'supports' (out of the box) only 1 TTY to display a DE.
(of course this can be changed, but requires some experience)

Accessing another TTY from DE/GUI, will have a very 'diffrent' environment than you face in emergency(.target) stage,
in which usualy /home is not mounted, wifi drivers are not loaded and similar...

Hope this helps?

fsck.xfs(8)                                                   System Manager's Manual                                                  fsck.xfs(8)

NAME

       fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully

SYNOPSIS

       fsck.xfs [ filesys ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       fsck.xfs  is  called by the generic Linux fsck(8) program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem.  XFS is a journaling filesystem
       and performs recovery at mount(8) time if necessary, so fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero exit status.

       If you wish to check the consistency of an  XFS  filesystem,  or  repair  a  damaged  or  corrupt  XFS  filesystem,  see  xfs_check(8)  and
       xfs_repair(8).

FILES

       /etc/fstab.

SEE ALSO

       fsck(8), fstab(5), xfs(5), xfs_check(8), xfs_repair(8).
