USB interface question

Hi, I'm looking at buying my first USB audio interface-the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. I'm going to use it to record some multitrack bluegrass stuff for fun. I have a question about playback. I'll be listening to tracks from my DAW (acoustic guitar) then layering fiddle, mandolin, et cetera on top of it. I know the interface has headphone monitoring, but is that only on the Mic end? In other words, will I hear my DAW through the interfaces headphone jack, or do I have to plug in my headphones from my PC somehow? Won't that cause latency somehow? I hope I don't sound to stupid...
 
The audio interface will effectively replace your audio card. All monitoring will be done via the interface.
