How do gymnastics competitions work (international)?

I was watching the artistic gymnastics at the Commonwealth Games, then I realised I had no idea how the progression of events worked. 

 

So first they do the team event, where all competitors for a specific country compete and earn points for the team. Then does all of the competitors from each country participate in the individual All-around? 

And then during the all around, whoever does the best in specific apparatus, regardless of country, get's chosen to compete in the apparatus finals? 

 

Sorry if it seems silly, I just never watched a complete competition before (only bits and pieces).

Do prelims where they qualify for different finals (team) individual events, and individual all-around.  Then from finals they are placed.
