Yeah, it's a bit confusing.  On my system I wrote a pair of shell
scripts called 'cryptmount' and 'cryptumount' to make the process a
little more automatic and intuitive.

Nope, it'll work fine.  In fact, I've sometimes burned the raw directory
to a CD-R, and mounted it straight off the mounted CD.  This turns out
to be a pretty handy way to carry around data in a secure manner.  You
do have to be careful about your burning options -- Joliet doesn't like
some of the filenames EncFS comes up with.  Rock Ridge seems to handle
them OK, though.
