No, that's correct. Articles are, groups aren't. But a client could, if it
wanted to, start messages off with any default number (not necessarily 50)
based on which group(s) the article appears in.

The server does store the new composite rating (almost) whenever a new rating
is submitted by a human, yes. I say almost because it actually only stores the
sum and the count, and divides these to get the rating at display-time only.
That's so that the 50 isn't written in stone.
But the composite ratings aren't as useful to clients as the raw values, and
