There's a simpler way:
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 gre -- set interface gre type=gre 
options:remote_ip=x.x.x.x

No, it won't.  The Open vSwitch implementation of GRE doesn't create
Linux network devices.

That's correct, if you want to create a virtual network device, then you
need to make it an internal device.
