Yes, it will filter mail for the virtual domains too.

It is better to filter at the user level (put a .procmailrc file in the
user's home directory) as it allows your users to decide whether they want
the filtering feature or not.

Yes, the global procmailrc will be processed automatically.  For user-level
filtering, the mail delivery system will verify for an entry in the
.forward file to see whether the mail should be processed through Procmail
recipes.
