I need to create a lvm group that appears as one partition in the MBR and is encrypted. I know that you need an unencrypted partition to boot the encrypted one, and the swap file should be too. Can I enclose all those partitions in one lvm group? The easiest method I've found for setting up lvm on an encrypted partition is here:

So, the question is, does this enclose all partitions in one lvm group and show up as only one partition on my gpt/mbr hybrid?

I ain't sure if i got this right, but I think that you first create partition for /boot, swap and the encrypted partition. So you will have at least three partitions. And then you create LVM on the encripted partition. So at boot time, you'll see only the boot partition. And you are not going to see any VGs in the MBR. You can't even see any LVs in it. That's why you need separate partition to boot off.
I suggest you to reed something more about LVM to get more familiar with how it works.
