The members are shared between different modules, yes. You use . 
instead of :: for scope resolution. You can also initialise a few 
things in a static constructors at class scope...

class A {
     static uint var;

     static this() {
         var = 3;
     }
}

Or at module scope...

class A {
     static uint var;
}

static this() {
     A.var = 3;
}

You should note that the data isn't shared between threads by 
default, but that's another detail. You can also usually produce 
a design that uses non-static data instead of static data.
