Yes, that part is right, and those are in all tables; Jason Erickson (who wrote SyncDeK) helped me set up both of these systems, and we didn't put any plugins on the FM Server machines (I just double-checked the machine that's used on the web to make certain I hadn't lost my mind).

There are some custom functions that SyncDeK uses as well… one of them generates serials, for example. SyncDeK uses a field called SyncDek_RecID to keep track of which records need to be synced over, and that serial is generated from a CF. There are other CFs as well, used for deletes, edits etc.
