It *does* wait[1] -- it just would continue doing the second part regardless
of the exit status of the first. So if the ifdown part exits with nonzero
(most probably signaling an error), the ifup part would be tried nevertheless.

So in this case, probably

would be the right thing, as you say.

That depends on what you want. Perhaps (probably not in this case, though)
you really want the second, third... command executed in any case. Then
the semicolon would be The Right Thing [TM]

[1] As you can easily check yourself by issuing:

  sleep 10 ; echo "good morning"
