That is correct.
Imagine it all template text and parameters like macros being 'in memory
as is' while message is not modified by user. Therefore they can be
re-evaluated when you change for example 'From' and give the focus back
to body.
The very first character you type in message body "freezes" this
template state and "manifests" the result of last evaluation in the
body. The template itself "is lost", therefore no new evaluation can be
done.

It will. that's what QuickTemplates are for.
They get evaluted when called (<Ctrl>+<Space>) and put their text out at
cursor position. 
Exceptions: 
- QT contains '%IsSignature'
  In this case the output will be put at the end of the message, paying
  attention to a maybe existing signature delimiter
- QT contains '%Clear'
  In this case the QT will clear the whole existing message body and
  replace it's content with it's own output.
