Hmm, what would he say?
Owen: Alright Luke, before those StormTroopers come and kill us, here's the truth. Your grandmother is buried under that headstone. She died of being violated and savagely beaten by Sand People. Your father came, learning about this, went to the tuskin camp and punked their asses. We then buried her here, where he cried and cried like the litty pussy that he was. And now look at him, Darth Vader, who'd've known..
Luke: What? Darth Vader's my FATHER!?
Owen:...Great, I've just ruined the greatest suspense thriller to ever be put on the big screen.
Oh course Shmi existed in the 70s in Lucas' drafts, it's part of Anakin's fall to the Dark Side.
We don't know the answer, but I reckon he told him the graves were of his grandmother, and the other grave too, whomever that was, maybe another Lars. I also reckon he told Luke that she was killed by the sand people. About his father's deeds there, probably not.

Of course Lucas knew all along that Vader was Luke's father! Lucas has said the name "Darth Vader" was made up because he wanted something that sounded like "dark father." Read any "making of" book or article.
Lucas had his draft/outline/whatever done, then cut it out everything else to just have ANH. While he probably didn't go into such details as to put names on the 3rd Stormtrooper on the Left, he did map out all the major plot twists, and I'm making an educated guess that Shmii's death was a part of it. That was a major point of Anakin's fall.
