Is this just a case of making sure that each front wheel is sat parallel to
its corresponding rear wheel?

Is each side lined up independently or somehow linked to the other side?

Im just interested

Its ensuring all four wheels are pointing forward and that the back is 
in line with the front (front to rear) and not stepped out slightly 
sideways resulting in crabbing.

It depends. Proper 4 wheel alignment will measure caster, camber and
tracking of all wheels including their relationship to one another.
