As covered on Macrumors [1], you have the option of using a unique generated email on Apple's servers which then forwards to your own email without the service provider getting any info about you. You also have the option to choose what data, if any, you share with the service.

So is the unique generated email one-time use or it's persistent? Also, if an app owner gives that generated email address to a third or fourth party, and that party sends an email to the unique address, does the mail still reach my inbox? If so then what is the purpose?

The app developer has to tell Apple which domains are allowed to send emails to the generated address. If the domain isn't on the list, no emails will be received.
