Annet, you will definitely need to change your domain's nameservers to those at webfaction. This is how your domain name is associated with your hosting account, and would be required no matter who the host was.
I've used a lot of hosting companies over the years, and WebFaction is the best I've ever used. Their support staff is absolutely the best around. So as long as they understood what you were asking, I'm fairly certain any answers they gave you were good ones. And these guys are friendly, so don't be afraid to ask them for further clarification.
