The manual
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs.html
can be quite helpful, at least when you know what you are looking for.
You were specifically looking for the following section
http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_16.html#SEC140
which has this to say about creating admin directories in the directory you 
are importing from:
"Note that import does not change the directory in which you invoke it. In 
particular, it does not set up that directory as a CVS working directory; if 
you want to work with the sources import them first and then check them out 
into a different directory".
