Obviously the answer to theis question (Do they all see the same thing, or not?") is, like any other HQ question "Yes, but..."

If they are all participating in the same quest together (or in a series of individual quests that coincide at this point) then they will have a shared concensus of what is happening (although exact details may vary from individual to individual*). If the challenge to be faced is to race across the mountain pass then all three particpants must cross a mountain pass.
On the other hand if they meet up in a remote, hard to get to tower it may be that the Theist had to scale a mountain to reach it, while the Animist crossed a desert full of hungry spirits and the Acolyte quested deep into the perilous forest...
*The traditional example is questors reaching the sun and finding it alternately to be Yelm, Yu-Kargazant or a fiery essence - Even in this case, however they would all agree that what they see is the sun...
