You are right, many different voltages at play.
From what I gather, the regulation occurs at the main miniUSB input and voltages are supplied without further regulation. It would not make sense to regulate the incoming and then regulate the regulated again for each step. This would not only add cost but create a redundant step.
Again from reading the manual and other literature about the RPI all regulation is bypass when the GPIO is used. Therefore, there is a Warning to Not Use GPIO unless the PS is regulated otherwise you might damage the unit.
Don't worry about the Bus, I'm sure you have been run over plenty of times and know how to get out of the way by now.
