Which airline does operate the ZRH-FRA flight? If it's LH mainline, you'll have a gate position, if it's LH Regional or Eurowings (CRJ), you'll get a tarmac position. However, I wouldn't take the shuttle service for the lower A gates (A60 through A70), as the trek to the limo will most probably be longer than the walk from the lounge to the gate, and you may have to wait for your driver at the lounge reception. Anyway, they'll ask you whether you want the shuttle service or not.
And yes, if you're on a tarmac position, you'll be driven to the plane side. Usually, you'll be the last people to board.
And a general hint: The LX F lounge isn't that great both in terms of comfort and service compared to what LH offers, so you might want to keep your stay as short as possible.
