Exactly.  Any time you have another shell parse the input, you have to
escape all the backslashes again (both the escapes and the real things).
This will also require it:

sh -c "net use j: \\\\\\\\server\\\\host /u:${user} ${password}"

Of course, single quotes are the preferred way to deal with backslashes,
but they don't get you variable expansion, e.g., as above.
Hope this helps,
