this is only gain automation, and it is directly related to the region - 
if you move the region in the  time line, the automation will move with 
the region too.

"show all automation, for me is really not elegant enough, cause it 
shows you all the parameters which can be automated in the track. so if 
you use a tap-eq it will open for you about 20 new automation tracks. 
ok, if you really want to automate every parameter...
if not, do a click a little "a" button underneath  of the track name and 
choose the parameter which you want to automate, than a automation track 
will open and you can go in with the object tool and produce the 
automation points. than change the automation modus from "manual" to 
"play" and enjoy!
you can experiment now with the other modes of automation, it can be 
helpful.

hope that helps a little,
