Hi Nathan, I'm the maintainer of MobileOrg for Android. Have you read the org-mode documentation for MobileOrg?
http://orgmode.org/manual/MobileOrg.html#MobileOrg That's a good place to start in figuring out what MobileOrg expects of org-mode, and also what org-mode expects from MobileOrg. The synchronization modes refer mostly to where you stage your org-mode files. The outline mode will work in the upcoming version of the application. You should definitely read the org-mode documentation about MobileOrg and I think that will give you a pretty good idea of how synchronization is handled from both sides.
