I was with you until you said:
I don't understand the role of the contact paper.

Place vinyl on the cup. This is actually the hardest part of the process getting the mask on the cup without wrinkles in the artwork. Most of the time is spent doing this. I use clear contact paper (shelf liner) to transfer the vinyl to the cup. Then you tape off the rest of the cup, hit the cut-out areas with the air eraser a couple of times and your cup comes out etched.
I don't understand the role of the contact paper.

You put the contact paper over your artwork and use the contact paper to peel the vinyl off of the backing. That way all the little jiblets that make up your artwork stick to the contact paper and stay in the correct relative position. It's a poor mans transfer tape. You stick this whole thing where you want the artwork to go, and since the vinyl has more sticking power than the contact paper when you pull the contact paper away the vinyl will stay in place.
