Move to SD Card Confusion

Ok... so I've managed to get myself confused on this.

As I understand it, Samsung turned on the (now hidden) feature in Android to choose to "move to sd card" (in the app info screen).

What I'm trying to understand is why some apps seem to move completely over, most barely move any data (gameloft is a big culprit here, and an obvious candidate for moving due to their exceptionally large games).

So what do these settings actually mean? Are they referring to the internal sdcard mount?

Storage
----------
Total
Application
SD Card App
Data
SD card data

Seems to me these are all referring to the internal sd card partiion and you cannot see how much data is actually moved to the external card.

Grr... ;) Trying to figure out exactly what is on my external card & how it is being used.

Thanks!
