Simple question...
Does the auto-mapping is based on the object history?? Or how does it works?

It's only based on history to the degree that your mesh relies on it's history to look as it does. But that statement probably doesn't help much.
Automatic mapping takes the approach of projecting UVs onto the object from multiple angles. If you were going to project UVs onto a cube-like shape before there was automapping, you would probably project planar UVs onto each side of the cube shape, totalling 6 projections to cover the entire surface. With automatic mapping, you can have this done in one shot by choosing to project from 6 sides at once.
