Does a question-asker get automatically notified of comments in this circumstance?

Under this sequence of events:

  1. Someone posts a question
  2. I post an answer
  3. OP comments on my answer
  4. A third part adds a comment to my answer
  5. I add a comment to my answer

Does the OP receive automatic notifications for either comment #4 or #5? The actual post in question is using content_for and ajax/Jquery to partially update webpage.

The best source I could find for when automatic notifications occur I found at http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/125208/when-exactly-do-i-get-comment-notifications. If I'm reading this correctly, the OP will not get automatic notifications for either of those above events. Is this correct? That post is also over a year old, so I don't know if it's up-to-date with respect to how it works.

I apologize if this is a dupe, but finding details about exactly when automatic notifications occur is difficult.
