Correct. After which the uncompressed page is reclaimed and uncharged.
So the zswapout process will reduce the charge bottom line.

Yes. Zswap is a memory consumer, and we want the compressed part of a
workload's memory to show up in the total memory footprint.

memory.zswap.* are there to configure zswap policy, within the
boundaries of available memory - it's by definition a subset.
