When you use \once, the command only is in effect for the 
next note AFAIK. Either omit the \once or use this order
of commands:

   \showStaffSwitch
   g4 a h c a
   \once \override VoiceFollower #'style  = #'dotted-line
   \change Staff = LH
   f4 |

Second, is this the most efficient way to do something like this? It seems a 
bit over-burdened.

No, you could probably use identifiers to reduce typing.
