Given the specification above, a VFS plug-in is the right way to go. However, I will caution you that creating a fully functional VFS plug-in is /hard/. That's true even if you're using FUSE. If you have some flexibility as to the user experience, you might want to look at Finder Sync extensions. These use a completely different model, and that model helps to avoid many of the pitfalls of a VFS plug-in.
