with difficulty N is counted the same way as N shares with difficulty 1 (or N/2 shares with difficulty 2*N, etc.) - that's the pool difficulty
This also means that with an N=2*coindiff in PPLNS, like … "average time = difficulty * 2^32 / hashrate", and that on average you need 2^32 hashes to find a difficulty-one share, etc. …
