No ... anything is alright here: With grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi you will installe the first part of grub (grubx64.efi) INTO the ESP: \efi\gentoo\grubx64.efi <==> /efi/efi/gentoo/grubx64.efi when you have mounted your ESP to /efi. (see more with "efibootmgr) With grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg you configure grub - residing IN / boot/grub = THIS is the second part of grub !! Maybe read: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger/Tutorials/ Boot_kernel_via_UEFI#Prerequisites_for_an_UEFI_boot (only this chapter; not the next chapter, because it is a guide for installing a stub kernel)
