Usually, yup. Investment deal structure varies but generally that's the case. You can sometimes borrow money to buy out an original investor, which is what I think what part of your earlier explanation bit meant.
Basically, yeah. We kind of just accept there will be some degree of inflation... I don't recall any arguments as to why zero inflation would be bad but I think inflation's existenxe is just a fact of economic life. So we want to spread it out in an orderly fashion so those processes you correctly listed can quietly do their thing.
