You should be okay using comedi_dio_config to set the direction of each 
channel, then comedi_dio_read to read a channel, comedi_dio_write to 
write a channel or comedi_dio_bitfield to read/write several channels at 
once.

Some hardware groups DIO channels together so that setting the direction 
of one channel affects a whole group of channels, but it looks like your 
DAS6034 board allows channel directions to be set for individual channels.

The stuff you mentioned about configuring the subdevice for reading or 
writing applies to streaming acquisition commands, not to simple 
acquisition instructions.
