Looks correct to me. The format is
name:flags:level:description:type:alt-type:argname:default:argdef:value

Type 0 (= none) indicates that this is an option that's either set or not set. 
A default is not defined, but if an option is not set explicitly then it's 
considered unset. And the value is empty which means that the option is not 
set explicitly.

What do you get when you run the same gpgconf command for the gnupg provided 
by Debian for your user account with and without the no-grab option in your 
gpg-agent.conf?
