sorry should have mentioned that, I have a canon 1300D and a Pixel TW-283 remote.

Looks like it connects over the jack plug, and that's a simple short to indicate a half or full press. No feedback as far as I'm aware.

so in theory as soon as the camera is back on it will just carry on like nothing happened?

The device will just keep sending out the signal for as long as you set it for, until it runs out of power itself.

very quick one that google isn't helping with, if I am using an external intervalometer for a time lapse, if the camera battery dies, does the remote get an error as the camera doesn't respond to the signal, or just it just keep sending the signal so it will just pick up once the battery is changed?

Depends on the camera, but the basic interfaces are usually dumb and there is no feedback from camera out.
