FIND and GREP syntax

I have a question to this command

Code:
find . -type f -name ".*txt" -exec grep "text" {}\.

The find command will locate a file name with the extension of txt once per round and find the word "text" in the content of the file or the find command will locate all the file names with the extension of txt and then find the word "text" in the content of the files?

Also what does {}\ represent for grep command?
