Does Wasabi download and consensus validate every single block?

Not by default, there's a 1 click toggle to run Bitcoin Knots.

Ok so by default Wasabi doesn't use Bitcoin according to the bar you set. But it can after a 1 click toggle.

Correct. You aren't required to run Knots through the Wasabi client, you can connect to your remote node as well.
