That's correct. The system launches the program as soon as it's loaded. That is before the normal login screen (It has the cloth background in Lion) but after the EFI login screen (That's the one you see if you enable FileVault in Lion).
As long as the external drive is plugged in before you hit the power button, everything should work properly. If you plug in the drive afterwards, there's no telling if the system has actually detected the encrypted volume before the program attempts to unlock it.
from unlock.
Now that I think about it, LaunchDaemons have a option to be called whenever external media is attached. A few edits to the program could allow you to unlock an external even after startup. I'll try and work on that.

Sounds great. Thanks!
BTW, here's a post I made some time ago that's a bit related (force mount location, auto eject drive when logging out). I'll update it if I can make that work with Lion encrypted drives.
