DirectSorlSpellChecker does not create a dictionary. It uses the field you specify and uses the Lucene term dictionary. It uses the some of the same code Fuzzy Search uses to calculate distance between user input and indexed terms.
If you're wondering about the affect of configuration changes you make, let us see the "before" and "after" configuration, and we can probably give more specifics.

I don't know the code well, but anything that mentions "index based spellcheck" would presumably require re-indexing. But I'd also guess it depends on the changes. Any changes to _how_ the index is _used_ shouldn't require re-indexing. But changing how the tokens are put _into_ the index should. But like I said, I'm speculating a bit.
