For "iptables" you will have to focus just on the BLUE boxes with the CAPITAL names, and forget about the lowercase ones, that are for "ipchains". And each packet entering the box will follow just one path, and this path is determined after the routing stage: any packet going through the box (neither generated nor destined to it) will go the path on the right, though the FORWARD chain of "iptables". From then on the travel is simple to follow.
