It should work for simple assignment and retrieval. You need to add quotes for [[ -v 'assoc[$var]' ]] to work, and math contexts are dodgy as hell. No amount of quoting will make (( 'assoc[$var]'++ )) work. If you want to increment the value of this array element, you'll need to retrieve it into a temporary string variable, increment that, and then copy it back into the array.
