If memory serves, the cough came before the cartoon. Lucas wanted something like the Vader breathing to signify that Grievous wasn't all droid. Something about originally wanting Vader more forced. He settled on a cough.

So yes, the cartoon was designed to explain it. A guy at my showing of ROTS even said, "Why is the droid coughing" to which I responded, "he's not a droid". I agree that it is messed up you have to watch a cartoon to know that. I never finished that show either.
