This is only true for the first time, to activate auto-top-up. After
that the card will top up at any gate you enter through.

Does this mean that after you have applied for auto-top-up, your
nominated station has to be the _first_ one you then touch in at?

Not as I understand it.

(or could you use your existing PAYG balance elsewhere first?)

I believe so.
