Hi Mark,
Yes, you are right. The multiple GO terms will be 'translated' into an IN
list. The IN list logically is equivalent of an 'OR' statement and
therefore will return results that match ANY of the terms. This is the
behaviour within single GO domain. If you combine domains they act as 'AND'
so for example using three domains will translate into (OR, OR, OR) AND
(OR, OR) AND (OR, OR)

I hope i am not confusing you more ;)
a.
