As I understand it, "Use database file to detect changes" allows detection of moved files, which are then moved also on the right side, rather than being deleted and re-created in the new path. However, even with this option checked, the main UI seems to only reports files remaining equal, being created, being updated and being deleted. Is there any way to determine from the UI which files are being moved?
If that's not the case, are they included in the count of deleted/created, or updated files?

If you hover your cursor over it, it will correct identify as a 'move' action. It will be categorized as an 'update' below the results:
