Indeed.

However, in this particular case (files being created / removed
very often), I think the exclusion list is more appropriate (a bit
quicker too).

I would use the nodump flag to permanently mark, let's say, 
/tmp and /var/tmp for exclusion (knowing that the inode 
numbers of those directories won't change over time).

But both methods are equivalent from dump's point of view.
