We're encased CSA stamps used?

  Not encased, just used like you would paper money.

  I think so. Heres a link to a site about the history of postage (via the National Postal Museum).
  Encased Postage
  I am not so sure about far south, but I would imagine Virginia, etc. would have accepted them.

  I have collected CSA stamps (and covers, etc.) for years, and never come across an encased example.
  
  I think it's possible that encased Union postage would have been accepted as small change in some of the border states, but I do not believe that any CSA stamps were ever produced.
  
  To my knowledge, all of the encasing was done in the North.
