I am assuming once all the albums are in the playlist and I copy them to the appropriate decade and genre playlists, that only a pointer to the mp3 is made and not an actual file copy, right?

Yes, this is correct. The MP3 files only exist once. Each playlist that contains them has a pointer to the MP3 file. There is no original playlist as such - everything is a hard link (to use Unix parlance).

You don't strictly need to organise the tracks into genre, etc., since the search feature can pick out tracks by title, artist, genre or year.
