Except for blocks with an internal delay.  E.g., filters.

No.  The buffers behave as fifos, and as along as the down stream
block is consuming from its inputs at the same rate, everything will
work out.  This is the usual case, as exemplified by the multiplier in
the example you provided for JC.

Yes, that is correct.  It's the delay inside the blocks that matters,
and most blocks have zero delay.
