Should apps automatically install/sync when starting on another Win 10 device?

I'm having to send my Surface Pro 4 back and I've got a replacement in the post. Obviously I need to set it up right before sending it back - on the old Windows RT/8.1 it used to have a sync setting where the apps fully synced too.

Now it just seems some settings sync but not the apps themselves. Am I right in thinking you have to re-download all your Windows store apps from your account and it won't do it automatically?

It'll be enough of a pain in the backside just re-downloading all my Steam and GoG games, as well as Dropbox etc. Would be handy if I didn't have to go through all my Windows apps too and re-order my Start Menu.
