No. The directory/ (relative to your current working directory)
is the directory/ of the stuff you want to make an ISO FileSystem
of, the stuff you burn to the CDR using cdrecord.

That won't work becuase mkisofs's -o flag conflicts with
cdrecord's read from pipe option (the dash at the end of the
command). What happens is that an image called "cdimage.iso" is
created, so cdrecord doesn't have anything to work on!
If you want to burn "cdimage.iso", do so by replacing the dash
("-") with the name of the image created by "mkisofs -o
filename", as in the command below:
cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -v cdimage.iso
Alternatively, you can issue:
mkisofs -R -J | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -v -
