yes, the transformation matrix is relative directly to
the 3D world, that means that you get automaticly the
global coords of the object's inner data by applying
the matrix to it (for example, vertice).

well, Loc Rot Size are, for there part, relative to
the parent, so if you want the global tranformation,
you can either go down the parent chain, or use the
matrix.

of course, all this is AFAIK.
