I'm getting the new iPhone 6 while on vacation in another city, and I'll only have my Macbook Pro. I usually sync my iPhone with my Mac Pro at home. My Macbook Pro doesn't have every app installed. If I backup my iPhone to my Macbook Pro, and then restore this backup to my new iPhone 6, what will happen when the apps are not on my Macbook Pro for them to sync back? Will they just start downloading?

I know iCloud backup could also work here, but I'd prefer to use my laptop if possible.
