A whip stitch in crochet means to thread a yarn needle with yarn and "sew" essentially. For instance, if you make an applique such as a truck, and wish to put it onto a blanket, you would thread your yarn needle with matching yarn, begin underneath, and stitch it to the blanket as you would sew a patch onto a pair of jeans. It also means to sew two peices together-as in if you have two straight edges like two granny squares to make an afghan, to stitch the two together.

Yes, with crocheting that should look fine. I wouldn't advise using a whip stitch with knitting as it will show and not look very good. But with crochet, because of the way the yarn loops around in the stitches, a whip stitch will not be particularly noticeable.
