It depends non the file type and which apps you have installed that are compatible with those file types.

For example, a PDF will open in iBooks as noted. If you had another PDF reader installed, that would come up as an option also. If you had an app that handled Office documents, like quick office, that would be an option for word and excel files.

From there, the app itself would have the option of saving the file to it's own sandbox, or saving them to the cloud such as MobileMe or drop box, if the app supported that.

If you have DocsToGo or ReaddleDocs app, you can save it there.

It's a video that opens with QuickTime Where would that save to?
Edit.. I see it only saves somewhere if I manually do it. I was thinking it automatically saved.

no, the only place that tt us "automatically" saved is in your inbox. you may be able to save a video to your camera roll like a picture, not sure.
