Most variables are only visible once the corresponding package is loaded.
That's normal.

The problem is that custom's "variables" aren't the same as
Elisp variables. They look very much alike, and they usually are exactly
the same, but that's not always the case.
The :get, :set, and :init thingies allow you to define a custom setting
"foo-bar" which controls "toto" rather than the variable "foo-bar".
If you care about the variable names, I recommend you just skip custom
altogether and write elisp code in your .emacs. It'll be cleaner and easier
to understand.
