An instance is an area created specificly for one group. They could generate dozens of the same instances at once and manage them all with little to no effort. Thats kinda the whole point..........
Correct in a way, although instances cannot be created ad-infintum.

Server capacity dictates an ultimate number of simultaneous instances, and while it is rare, on many MMO.s you must queue sometimes if they are full (even on wow especially on patch days with a new dungeon you sometimes have to wait for an instance'd dungeon even with a full party because the server has created its maximum number of instances of that dungeon).

For exmaple, instanced content on lord of the rings online is approx 250 instances at once.
