I don't know enough about encrypted filesystems to be able to give a
known good answer, but I would guess that password entry would happen
after grub, but before the root filesystem gets mounted, since the
root fs would be encrypted.  Your understanding may be helped by
finding out more about initrd, which is what would allow this to
happen.
