I don't know if they would necessarily know or need to know. I currently have my Apple ID signed into 5 devices and all work with no issue.
Now in terms of using for multiple users, the simple test is to have 10 - 15 people all sign in with the same credentials and see if that works. if it does, then it should be a winner. I know that if I sit down in a room with my MacBook Air, Mac Mini, iMac and the 5 iOS devices, if someone Face Times my e-mail address then all 8 devices will ring out all at the same time, so this certainly works on up to 8 devices at the same time.
