Nobody says that it was mounted on the host. When a recent kernel boots in EFI mode, it always creates the directory /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/, regardless whether support for efivarfs was configured in the kernel (see drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c). That means that we might have the directory and the mount will still always fail. Anyway, failing to mount efivarfs should not prevent you from using arch-chroot, as it only prevents you from manipulating efi variables, but not from performing other important tasks.
