So maybe he'd originally intended to get away without mentioning "Keyser Soze" at all, but when the police questioned the Hungarian and asked him about it, he knew he needed to fill a story he'd left out before. That does seem to fit quite well, that's why he was improvising. And why he's suddenly in a hurry, and why he had to fall back on political influence to escape the police (which isn't very subtle).
It seems odd the film doesn't show him being picked up, but I guess it doesn't need to.
And it's not clear why the Hungarians wanted the witness if the backstory wasn't exactly true. Maybe someone ELSE went on that killing spree and vanished or died, and Spacey attached that legend to the KS character he was constructing. I wondered if maybe he wanted everyone on the boat dead for some third reason, neither drugs nor a witness to his face, and just made the first two up for the police. But the Hungarian has some corroboration for the "witness" theory.
