No, there is only one copy of the file you are working on. Some
softwares will recognize that someone else is modifying the file and
tell you so, others not, so ymmv.

If the other computer has a file on it that you want to access and that
computer is not turned on you can't access it.

There is only one set of files, somehow you have come to think that by
sharing folders the same folders are present on both computers, that is
not the case. You are simply accessing the same file with two different
computers.

You have to reboot after changes in your network configuration for the
change to take effect. Making a new shared folder is a change in your
network configuration.
