That is right. As of yet, there's no applet for the gnome panel which
displays the current layout. With the dbus bindings, it should be
trivial to write one though (you might want to look into awful.remote
for hints).

The 8 tabs is expected behaviour. Tags are reported to desktop switching
applets as virtual desktops, because they can be used like them. The 4
workspaces you usually see while using gnome are created by metacity
(which you replaced with awesome).
Are the windows you want to select on the currently visible tag? If so
and you are _not_ using focus follows mouse, it should work fine... I'm
not sure however how well awesome behaves if some external application
wants to switch to a client that is not on a currently visible tag
without explicitly requesting a switch to the tag.
