I want to know how deserialization works and is it really needed to have the assembly on that system where the deserialization is happening.

If you haven’t looked at MSDN yet, do so. It will tell you everything you need to know about the serialization/deserialization process…at least enough to use it. The link I gave you is specifically ‘how to deserialize.’
As far as the more technical aspects, the pieces of information that will get serialized will be exactly what is required to fill that structure/class/object.
I’m not really sure what you mean by the 2nd part of your question about the assembly. However, if you are serializing a struct (for instance), then in order to deserialize to another machine, or application, you must have that exact same struct available: name, fields, data types, etc.
