Clones can also create copy on writes, if created and activated without pre-copy. Clones can also force a copy on read from the target device. Snap will not copy on read from the target device.
Precopy is copy after creation, but before activation.
it all depends what options are selected during "create" phase, plus version of SE matters too. Everything is documented, just need to take the time and read.

Background copy happens after activation

Dennis,
have you had a chance to look at Timefinder documentation, your questions are explained in details there.
