Every message you have is in the All Mail folder. So if a message is in your in box or filed away in some other folder, it'll also be in your all mail folder. Remember, if we're talking about Gmail then we're really just talking about labels and not actual copies of the messages.
I use Thunderbird on the PC, and when I delete a message it gets moved to the Trash folder. On your iPhone, if you turn off archive messages then when you delete a message it'll go into your Trash folder.
