Can anyone tell me if my USA Amazon.com author page on Author Central covers all the other countries, or do I have to create a new page on each of the Amazons- UK, DE, FR? It appears as though I do have to, I just didn't want to mess anything up before I asked someone who knows for sure....Thanks!

You do have to create separate pages if you want language-specific information. I haven't bothered so far since the other sites pull my US description by default.

OK so you just do a page in english for each one? How do I figure out if they will pull my USA info to the other sites? Or does this happen automatically?

You have to sign up for Author Central on each language site. They don't link.

Look up your book on the appropriate Amazon domain and see if your author description shows up. Mine did, but I didn't have to do anything to make it happen.

I translated my author central info into German and French for those pages, just because I could. I haven't done it for Spain and Brazil, but I haven't had time to focus on it.

I don't think it's necessary, but I doubt it can hurt (unless you translate poorly, especially to French). They're buying your stuff in English, I know, but I thought it'd be a little courtesy it wouldn't hurt me to extend.
