Not all that confusing. Clients talk to pgbouncer, which in turn talks to
server. All the manual is saying is that you need to redirect your requests to
the pgbouncer port from the Postgres port, using psql as an example.

Did you take a look at:

http://pgbouncer.projects.postgresql.org/doc/config.html

I have never used pgbouncer, but from above it would seem you need to set up a
[databases] section to tie pgbouncer to the Postgres server.
See:
SECTION [databases]
