Yes the session gets created as soon as you open the site.

All the browsers share the same session whether you are opening it in tab or even different instance of the same browser.

If you are using the different browser, then a new session would be created.

The session values are stored at webserver the only thing sessionid that is stored on cookies on client system.

Is this clarify your question.
