You don't send bitcoins to a wallet, you send them to an address. The transaction is recording the blockchain by miners, and has nothing to do with whether or not bitcoin-qt is running or not, or synced or not.
The only thing that you have to wait for is for bitcoin-qt to catch up with the blockchain to spend, because it can't spend funds it until it knows about them.

Right, yes this makes sense now. Still coming to terms with all angles. Cheers for making it more clear to me.
