Quick question about Wampserver and MySQL

Trying to gain an understanding of why its packaged into WAMPs and LAMPs

Would the below be a simple example of one of the things it does?

If I have a simple webpage with a form that would allow the users to put in their contact information and request more information, does MySQL create a database that would store that information (in conjunction with PHP scripting obviously)?

Additionally, does anyone have a good link to a tutorial or explanation of how each of the pieces of Wamp work together? (googling this produces far too many results to be useful...)

Thanks!

Yes MySQL is a database manager.

No a database will not get created automatically, you have to do it yourself, i.e. create a database and a table to hold the data.

Yes you then store and retrieve data from your db using php

Google for mysql tutorials to find some help getting started using the MySQl database.
