It uses Bluetooth to communicate. It will show on a map where you last 'saw' it. And if you lose it, it can be found by other Tile users who happen to walk near it. Their tile app privately - without them doing anything, or knowing - reports your lost Tile's location to you. 

But it doesn't have its own GPS and cellular to know where it is and communicate its location. Like if you lost it in the woods, it couldn't broadcast its own location. It would depend on some other Tile user stumbling within Bluetooth range of it.

only when another person with the tile app walks near it. I was worried about this being rare, but I don't always leave Bluetooth on and I still get plenty of location updates so I think the community is quite large.

No.
Without another tile installed app nearby, your tile is useless
