Is anything past 5.1 surround sound actually broken up and time corrected by the reciever?

What do you mean? The data is encoded in a certain number of channels. Usually 5.1. The receiver decodes the data to whatever it is. Mono, stereo, 5.1, 6.1 are all pretty common for DVDs.The receiver outputs the channels faithfully unless you put it into some extra surround mode, like Yamaha and Sony are famous for using.

Maybe I was a little vague, sorry. My impression was that all dvd's were all decoded in 5.1 and that was it!( FL, CTR, FR, RR, RL AND SUB). So how are most dvd's recorded? How is anything added to how the dvd was originally recorded, meaning what piece of equipment does the correction/addition.

They generally record 5.1 channels onto DVDs. Your receiver decodes the data to get these 5.1 channels and it plays them for you. That's it.
Look on the back of the DVD box to see how it is recorded. Movies were generally always mono up until the early 80s and then stereo until sometime in the 90s when 5.1 came around. So many older movies are still in their original soundtrack on DVDs, which they should be.
