Does goto track stars?

G'day just wondering about tracking and goto mounts, do I assume that if a mount / tripod has Goto capabilities then it also has tracking capabilities, does any scope that comes with a goto hand controller automatically track objects, or do they have to be bought separately.
I know we can buy a mount that goes between the camera/ scope and tripod is that the tracking mount, I understand that Goto is a hand controller that you can press buttons and the scope will go to any object in it's database, but once there will it track the object? and will that tracking be suitable for long exposure photography?
