First off, neither the attachments or emails are stored in SQL.  The are converted into the dvs format and stored on the Vault Store Partitions.

Depending to how you set up your Vault Store Groups, yes, EV will single instance that attachments from different mailboxes.  This is called OSIS, Optimized Single Instance Storage.

You can refer to this article to understand it better.  It was introduced in EV 8 and is the same in EV 9 and 10.
