Essentially, your app store apps on all your computers have to be connected to the same dot mac account or ML won't show as downloadable.
Also, as long as you copy ML from your apps folder before you open to install, for example, copy it to your desktop, you will have an "extra" copy. If you want a bootable copy rather than the entire dmg, then extract the ESD file mentioned above.
If you didn't copy ML to another location before running it from the apps folder, then yes, it's gone. But you can still redownload it from the app store - just go back in on the machine you downloaded on originally, open the app store app, and click on purchases. Then redownload and use the copy method to take it to another computer*…
