What Happens When You Delete a Gmail Message on Your Touch?

It will be moved to the trash on the gmail servers, and be permanently deleted in 30 days. See here: Gmail Blog. Yes, I know this is a link to information for the iPhone... but it works exactly the same for the Touch.

As the Gmail Blog says, when you read something in your mail, it's exactly the same as reading it on the gmail site. You will stay in sync because the iPhone/Touch app is now using IMAP instead of POP. You do not need to know what on earth IMAP and POP means other than knowing that once you read it in your hand, it won't show up as new again if you log in to gmail in a browser later on. Good on them for the switchover. I've been using it a bit on my Touch, and it's pretty speedy quick, and I actually think I sift through my mail on the Touch quicker than I do on my Mac. Cool. Faster, more efficient mail is something to be desired, yes?

Yes. Indeed.
