I just tried going to https://m.google.com/sync/settings/ from my WP8 phone and I was able to make all the changes just like I did in Chrome with my user agent set to iPhone4.

Perhaps Google has done a backflip and are now allowing WP8 users access to the sync settings directly again. When I tried this link a couple of months ago there was no option to select your Windows phone and enable sync. It simply provided links to information sites on how to enable sms notifications from you Google calendars on your phone. Hence the need to 'fool' the server with User Agent.
You get that landing page with links if you just go to m.google.com/sync. Adding the https and settings is what got it for me.
When trying on my lumia 620 it would redirect me to another site (the one you mention). However, there is a trick. If you use chrome on your computer, you can use an add-on (user-agent switcher). Then switch to iphone 4. Once you do that go to m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/ and you will be able to choose your devices and your calendars. The last step would be to disable javascript while you are at that website and change the word "false" to "true" in your url bar. Then select your calendar and do not forget to press save changes!
None of this works for me on my Lumia 928. Best I've been able to do is subscribe to my shared Google family calendar via Outlook so I can at least see the events, but it's all read-only. I'm unable to subscribe to my wife's calendar. Hoping for a fix in an upcoming update.
Dang.. Just fired up the 928, and yeah.. I figured because I had all my Google calendars from my 822 that it would just auto come over... no dice.

Did that...where it says "select 25 calendars" has been changed to just 1 calendar. Not a paid/govt/edu account, just a regular one. It is working via Activesync outside of the fact that there is apparently now a restriction? Is your account a paid one of some sort? My older phones still let me pick up to 25 calendars.
Frustrating because Google says support (getting a device signed up, really) is extended until July 31st. No mention of it being limited.
Hopefully Big Red gets GDR2 released rather expeditiously.
I think you guys are trying it the old fashioned way using a separate browser. I just got my 928, opened up the browser on the phone, logged into my google account, and went to m.google.com/sync/settings/iconfig/. It presented me with a list of devices, the top choice being "WindowsPhone". I selected that and it said "select up to 25 calendars to sync to your device". I selected the six I use and clicked on the "Save" button. The calendars appeared after I went into Settings>email & accounts>Google Account and selected sync now.
Try just using the phone's browser.
No, it is just a normal lame old Gmail account.. I only use it because our City calendar is a Google calender, otherwise I'd be Google free. In my case the calendars I'm trying to view are read only public calendars....
