If you download from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
The javascript in the page will determine a 64 bit system and download the proper plugin.
NOTE: If you visit the page with IE, it will lead you to the ActiveX plugin. If you use Firefox, Opera or Safari, it will lead to the "other browser" plugin.
The 64 bit IE will access the ActiveX pluigin via the WOW64 in your C/Windows/System folder.

Not quite; sysWOW64 contains the 32-bit programs; the 64-bit programs are in system32.
