Interesting interpretation.

The way we have played it, you don't get your chits until EW is active.
To do that, you have to activate the EW unit. That means the EW unit is
almost always the first unit activated. You don't get to spoof your
opponent until you activate your EW unit. Mind you, he doesn't get to
counter EW until HE activates his, so it sort of evens out.

The confusing part seems to be whether ECM is active or not. If you
don't have to spend an action to make it "active", why not make it
active all the time? There seems to be no reason for EW to not be
active. Unless, of course, there is a modifier to hidden units using EW.
