Correct.

Correct.  For now Guix does not deal with user services.

No, since Guix does not deal with user services.
You'd put the above snippet in ~/.config/shepherd/init.scm:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(register-services (list auto-mount))
(action 'shepherd 'daemonize)
(for-each start (append (list auto-mount)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(Untested.)
