Nah, not all counters in MTG get added at the same time. It really depends on what's happening in the game and what kind of counters we're talking about. Some abilities might add or remove counters during specific phases or in response to certain triggers. So, you gotta keep an eye on the game state and understand the rules around the specific counters you're dealing with.

They do NOT. Each spell or ability that adds counters does so independently. Timing can vary widely based on the card's specifics and the current game situation. Know your cards and the rules that apply!

Actually, counters can be pretty nuanced. While +1/+1 counters from different sources can all end up on a creature simultaneously if the spells or abilities are stacked correctly during a single phase, not every type of counter operates this way. And sometimes, timing and order matter a lot, especially with abilities that counteract each other.
