Default DTS-HD / DTS-MA Question

Here's an audio codec question, I searched here but did not see an answer. I've been browsing http://www.blu-raystats.com/stats.php , looking at different BDs and what they used for audio & video codecs. I was surprised at all the iterations of new DTS codes, I didn't realize there were so many. You can "sort by" the audio codecs and see all the different possibilities - the following are listed for DTS-HD / DTS-MA:

DTS-HD (like Saw 2 & The Devil's Rejects)
DTS-HD 6.1 (like Saw 3 & First Blood)
DTS-HD 7.1 (like The Condemned & House of 1000 Corpses)
DTS-MA (like The Day After Tomorrow and all Die Hards)
DTS-MA 24 bit (like Kingdom of Heaven & The Simpsons)
DTS-MA 24 bit 6.1 (only X-Men The Last Stand)
DTS-MA 24 bit 7.1 (only Hairspray)
DTS-MA 24 bit 96 kHz (only Chronos)
DTS-MA 7.1 (like Saw 4 & Shoot Em Up)
DTS-MA True HD (only Close Encounters)

My question is, supposing the PS3 does get that DTS-MA update someday, will all the above be decoded to PCM and sent to my receover (over HDMI of course)? And are these all lossless? Finally, that last one is different from Dolby TrueHD, right? That's a bit confusing how close the names are, never heard of that one...

Any other informative comments for a know-nothing like myself regarding these codes is welcomed!
