Skywatcher Adventurer

Hello,
I would like to ask what is probably a basic question, however I need to understand the tracking and focus functions of the Skywatch Star Adventurer kit.
When using the Skywatcher Star Adventurer,
1. Lineup mount and tracker with the Southern Star point.
2. Assemble the rest of the kit, balance if required etc..
Now this is all in one piece- does the mount stay locked into the same reference point and the lens aligned and focused on the object? (The moon in my case).
Is it then simply a case of turning the tracker on and proceeding to take photos.

My understanding of the tracking function is limited at the moment. The moon varies it’s rise and set point and travel direction. If the mount is always in the same geo spot and alignment spot how do I account for that variation?
Thank you for your time and help, have a safe and happy New Year.
Kind regards, Dennis Arch.
