Crew!

Does rsync update the contents of a directory when the date-stamp of this directory differs from its destination?

Cheers.

No. This is the default behaviour of rsync. The -u (update) option tells rsync to skip files that are newer on the receiver, that is if an already existing files on the destination is newer than the source one, it is not "downgraded" to a preceeding version.
