Do you guys agree with my plan?

If that is the case, time you found another developer as they are clearly ripping you off. I work with a developer who does this kjinda stuff all the time - and certainly doesn't charge that just for the bit that generates metatags. We have just finished a dynamic site with the facility to have each page's metatags tailored.
As for Google, page Title and descriptions very important. Yahoo and MSN both read keywords.
If you want to get anywhere, you will still need to have page titles relevant to the copy which can be searched.
