Short Answer:
They do.
Longer answer,
You only need to put the T in the dialplan.digit map where you might
need to wait to be sure the user is finished dialing, it will not hurt
to have it there.  This way if you have extensions like 1234 and 12345
you can use something like |123X.T| bad example but you get the idea.
This will wait for the amount of seconds that you have in the
dialplan.digitmap.timeOut for that section after the user has dialed 4
digits to be sure that they are not going to dial the 5th digit.  I put
the time in for all section in the dialplan.digitmap.timeOut sect
whether iput the T in the dialplan.digit map section or not just to make
it easer for my pea brain to follow what time out corralates to which
dial section.  You may not want to wait for 3 seconds in all dial
condition, you may put a 1 or a 2 second wait for some and a 3 or for
second wait for others. I hope this has not confused matters any more.
