I'm new to S2000's and the F20, but coming from other Honda's (B-series, H- Series) but I dont see how the mounting in the pic really does anything, unless the crankcase ventilation line is somehow in the valve cover ?

OK, here's the way I see it:
The way tenblade has it is correct and quite adequate. The front breather hose (red/green
) goes to the intake between the air filter and the throttle body. This is where it is supposed to go.
The way the catch can is set up in tenblades pic works to "pull" oil vapours (when there is any) when the manifold is under vacuum. Also, at this time, the front breather acts to draw air into the top of the valve cover area. That's why it needs to be filtered air. Under certain circumstances, the front will push air/vapours "out". In a stock car, this just gets sent into the intake for the engine to consume. If you were to divert this front breather, it should be to a second catch can and then back into the intake OR it can go to a catch can with a vent and NOT go back to the intake.
It isn't a good idea to put both front tube and PCV tube into the same catch can UNLESS you have a filtered/vented one and then plug both the openings where the PCV and front breather would normally end up. This is what I have ended up doing on my S/Cd application.
ps. Since installing my catch can, I have collected no oil in it, but then, I don't drive that aggressively on the street and this is when oil gets thrown out those tubes.
pps. My engine has stopped consuming oil long before the catch can went on, so it is possible that my rings are seated nearly perfectly.

PUT THE DREMMEL DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE!!! 
Dr. Dremmel strikes again!
