Encrypted file system over Internet

If I understand on-the-fly-encryption correctly, I assume that
information I read or write to a remote encrypted file container will
be protected since cryptographic operations are performed in RAM on my
local machine. Is this correct? Is there any need for encryption
services for the actual network connection beyond the scope of
authentication?

Plainly, is my data safe (confidential) when it travels to and from my
local machine when I access an encrypted partition on another machine
through the Internet?
