Respawning critters after Rotunda visit?

I read the following on the wiki playing hints page:

 

"As long as you do not enter the Rotunda in Jefferson Memorial, you will not trigger the event which causes the respawning of enemies at previously visited locations. Avoiding this trigger makes this an ideal place to halt your progress along the main quest line and instead pursue side quests till your heart's content.

A good alternative for combat oriented players is to finish the The Waters of Life by leading Doctor Li and the scientists to the citadel. This will allow you to receive Power Armor Training and will spawn lots of walking XP in the wilderness. You will level quicker by finishing this quest, however it will make the wilderness a far more hostile/dangerous environment thanks to Enclave spawns."

 

I am playing vanilla GOTY with no DLCs added right now, so I am not sure if the above advice still applies without Broken Steel.

Please explain. Is it talking about just Enclave soldires appearing randomly, or all critters everywhere I have been already?

Do they mean the initial visit to the Rotunda when you can find all the tapes (before visit Rivit City), or only after escaping with Doctor Li?

 

On the subject of respawning, I have noticed new Raiders at the schoolhouse near Megaton once. This was long before I ever visited DC. Is respawining at previously visited locations typical? I have not noticed respawing elsewhere, yet.
