The usergrid-deployment.properties file should go in the tomcat lib directory. Where that is, exactly, depends on your OS and installation method. Some linux distros will put it in /usr/share/tomcat(7?), some in /var/lib/tomcat(7?), etc. In the majority of cases, the lib directory would be under the same parent as the webapps directory where you placed the war file. I believe Tomcat would need to be restarted for the app to pick up those changes.
A lot of the documentation is in flux while things are being shifted to Apache.
