There is no easy answer, it really depends.
The thing with Drupal's theming system, is that it is very flexible, which means, that under certain situations you can make it use other templates, than the default.
The only thing you usually can be sure of, is that the page.tpl.php is used, it defines the main structure of the page. It usually defines different regions where you can put dynamic content. This content can be generated by a combination of templates and theme functions.
If you want to understand how this all works, you could try to read the theme guide, or for a more hands on approach, install the Theme developer module to inspect the different elements of a drupal page.
