Oh. So I didn't need LVM and LUKS at my install?

Btrfs doesn't do encryption, so luks is still necessary. LVM isn't needed since btrfs subvolumes achieve the same in a more flexible way (no fixed size, snapshots).

Btrfs doesn't have built in encryption, if you want to encrypt Btrfs you still need another layer (e.g. LUKS).
