When using GL_QUADS, is a quad treated as two triangles? Or do all 4 pts have to lie in the same plane?

How a quad is treated is implementation specific. If some implementation can draw quads without splitting into triangles, then it is free to do so. If it must split into triangles to draw it, then it is also free to do so. There are some requirements though; it must be convex and planar.
