What will be placed in the mounted partitions?

[dE_logics]

For this kernel, the world of storage is limited to the directories in the root folder only and other partition/drives/devices will have to be accessed through these directories, or the new device will be a part of these directories.
Now can the OS automatically put files in these mounted partitions depending on what folder is it mounted in?...for example I mounted sdb2 in /usr/bin or /bin, will the OS put binary files in these mounted partitions automatically (of course if any installation is made which generates binaries, or a source code is compiled and after the step 'make install' all while the partition is mounted)?
If yes, can I specify which binaries/libraries/etc... from the installation needs to be put in which mounted partition?

If you're asking can you specify where to write certain kinds of files during an Ubuntu installation, the answer is -- kind of.

By that I mean, that if you partition your drive such that / (root) and /home are different partitions, then the corresponding files will be written to the different partitions during installation.

If you're asking about specifying locations for individual files during installation, I don't believe there's any way to do that.

That means nothing will go in the mounted drives even though its in a working folder.
