Looking through the examples I see different data between most time 0 and the next step say .01, while it seems the other step sasy 0.01-1.0 all have the same data files.

My question is: Is this always the case? Will the other timesteps say 0.01-1.0 always have all the same data files?

Usually codes dump out more fields (e.g. 'phi') than they need to start.

The starting point is not always time 0, you quite often restart from an existing time.

(In the current paraFoam reader it actually scans through all time directories to pick up all the fields in all time directories)
