Session question

After reading the turbine-2 spec I wanted to verify my understanding regarding user authentication and sessions.

As I understand it a session is created whether the user is authenticated or not, before the homepage/loginpage is presented. Does this mean if you never have the user authenticate (classes only extend VelocityScreen), then the session is still available and session pull tools will be available to this session?

Is the SessionValidator executed only after a login attempt?

Thanks for your help.

-John
