Are you referring to a Windows user profile or a mail profile here? The
Windows username doesn't have to be the same across the PCs nor does the
mail profile name, for that matter, but they MAY agree if that's what you
want.

Log in as "Work" on one computer (desktop 2), and open outlook. That
should create a .pst file, which I can locate on the shared folder of
desktop 2. Correct so far?

Opening Outlook doesn't create a PST. I'm assuming that you already have
Outlook running and a mail profile and PST created on one of the PCs. Once
that's the case, then you can create the folder which you will share, move
the PST to that folder and, when you start Outlook, browse to it to
reconnect it to Outlook.

Do I have to also create a user profile in outlook, if so in one or all
copies?

Outlook won't run without a mail profile. Naturally there will be a mail
profile on each machine that runs Outlook.

Then I can go to the other computers and log in as "Work", open
outlook and select File Open and direct it to the shared location?
If so, will that mean every time someone logs on to a computer as
"Work" and opens outlook, it will automatically go to the shared
file, or will Outlook have to be told open the shared file?

Once you've opened a PST in Outlook, it will always open it when started.

What about the outlook versions? Can I mix 2000 with 2003? Or just
use remote desktop? Or?

If the PST you're sharing is in ANSI format (Outlook 97-2002), then all
versions of Outlook should be able to access it.
