  No, your self-hosted site is not in anyway connected to, nor can it be connected to wordpress.com. It stands alone. You need to first off activate the XMLRPC in your new site at settings > writing, and then set up your wordpress app to connect to that new site.

  For IOS help, you need to inquire in the forums at http://iphone.wordpress.org/ .

  For help on self-hosted wordpress installations you need to inquire at http://wordpress.org/support/ .
