When I take a picture, the picture goes to DCIM folder of my phone. Does each gallery app copy the picture from DCIM to its own storage? If I installed two gallery apps on my phone, will I be using twice the storage for my picture? or the Apps will just share the pictures in DCIM.

No, each gallery app, and camera app for that matter, should utilize the dcim folder.
