Understanding variations

Please correct me if am wrong. I am trying to understand how variations work in SharePoint.

1. I create a primary site in ENGLISH.

2. I create its variation in ARABIC.

3. I create a new page in ENGLISH site and write some content in it.

4. After sometime the timer job runs and makes a copy of that page in ARABIC.

5. Then I edit my ARABIC page and write content in it.

Is this how it works?
