That sounds more like due to being new to CMake than new to VTK.  If you chose the Xcode generator, then cmake will have created a .xcodeproj file, you then just open that project in Xcode just like a hand-created Xcode project.

Remember, VTK is a library, so you can build VTK itself with a makefile or Xcode.  You can then take the resulting libraries and add them to your own makefile, Xcode project, CMake build file, or custom build system.

Cheers,
