I do not see a problem here.

Yes.  Unless you use the "noauto" option in the fstab entry.  In other
words by default it will mount on boot, you have to specifically tell it
not to do this.

You choose a folder anywhere in the file system as a "mount point".  You
can create this folder anywhere, it just needs to be empty before you
can mount a partition to it.

It will appear and behave like any other folder on your file system.
The command df will show you the free space on all your partitions and
their mount points.

This will work as expected.
