You are correct.

If they happen to be attached when combat happens, then they fly with US forces, as do our pilots assigned with them.
When you say they went on deployment with you, were they actually allowed to fly combat missions with US forces?

Not USN, but Dutch F-16 pilots are on exchange with USAF and to the best of my knowledge are flying in Afghanistan. Back in the 80's a Canuck flew in my dad's RF-4C squadron.
Only if the exchange pilot's country allows it. There was a Marine Harrier pilot attached to one of the RN squadrons before the Falklands War, he was not allowed to leave with them when they went off to war, we were officially neutral in the conflict.
