Where is the storage physically connected? I suspect your idea that the r-pi is the NAS is incorrect.

If the r-pi is where the storage is physically connected, then the r-pi has to be used to unlock the encrypted container AND mount the file system inside. Any other computers cannot do this. They are clients using some network protocol like Samba, CIFS, 9p, NFS, sshfs, or some other protocol that is used even less often.
There is no way for MS-Windows to see the storage unless it is shared by the PI using some network protocol. Typically, samba would be used for this.
There is no way for a Linux desktop (not the Pi) to the the storage unless it is shared by the PI using some network protocol.
Only the PI sees the actual file system. You should be using LUKS + ext4 on that storage.
Hope this clears things up.
