Yes! It will play when you tell it to play.

If you know the length of the audio file, you will know when it stops playing.

well its not that easy if u have many many dialog u need to set up the length of each animation manually for each sentence ( can be done but .. u know laziness ) , I just wonder if the GS will now when the audio file has reach to end .. well i think it can internally tell that because it can loop it .. but can we access that info somewhere

Nope. I've done long animations synced. Just make a list of the audio lengths and add a timer to the next audio track. Or use a stepped integer to trigger each animation and audio. It's not that hard.
