I usually say no and proceed to turn inbound on the approach after crossing the fix. The hold is at TRM and serves as the IAF, not the FAF though.
I would say to be completely legal either:

a) do the hold, even if it's a direct entry, then once inbound proceed on course to the VOR and the next course change

b) if you want to save some time and $$, say no but ask 'em for a vector to final

On another note merit, why is the VOR-B a non-runway specific approach (not sure if this has been covered ever)? It's within 30 degrees of a runway...
