A ROS timer does not have an associated ROS graph name, so the namespace of the nodehandle doesn't affect how the timer functions.

I believe (though I'm not entirely certain), that if your NodeHandles have different callback queues, then the timer callback will get called on queue of the associated NodeHandle. This is a fairly advanced use case and it requires explicit setup, so it's probably not something that most students will encounter.
