Do pages default to the Drupal standard cache settings if a registered user is viewing pages?

It is really not obvious if one needs to disable core caching (/admin/settings/performance) when using boost.

If you are using boost for caching, the core caching should be disabled. You can find suggested settings for the /admin/settings/performance page here: http://drupal.org/node/545908#pg

My understanding is that neither Boost nor Core caching works for logged in users.

On my live sites i have core caching disabled, i dont know why this is recommended but i play it safe.

Still you can have cacherouter combined with APC/memcached for huge performance gains for logged in users and boost page cache generation

@marios88, it would be great if you could expand on how this can be done in a step by step way...

see http://drupal.org/project/cacherouter

install APC on your server if not there

read the manuals, pretty straight forward setup

As reswild mentioned in #5, turning off core caching is the recommended way.

You can still turn it on, but it will not be very useful and might cause glitches since you then have two caches running at the same time (i.e. boost might generate a page using data that was cached, not the latest data).
