If I do something like:
varName = [dictionaryName objectForKey:@"keyName"];

does that return a copy of what is in the dictionary? or a pointer?

It returns the object itself (as a pointer by necessity). It doesn't copy anything as that wouldn't make sense in many cases. It leaves it up to the caller to make a copy of an object it's stored.
