The synchronization process starts as soon something is changed in DropBox folder (file is added, renamed or deleted). If the file is deleted the website keeps a copy in Trash folder, so it's not all lost. Your assumption is correct - those folders will be synchonized exactly in the structure you mentioned in your message. Each computer will get a copy of others' computers backups.
