It's possible that the lot gets a lien on the car immediately upon putting it in the lot. It wouldn't seem out of the ordinary for a lot to immediately file a lien upon getting a car, that puts their lien in as good of a priority position as possible. Then, when you pay, they release the lien.
That's just a guess, though. He did say you'd get some papers from the DMV, my guess is he's talking about some kind of lien release confirmation.
I'd try calling the DMV, they can probably give you more specific information about the lien procedure, and certainly can tell you if there was actually a lien recorded by the lot against your car.
