While that is a common fan conception of how the RoR works, and has  
even been spoofed (I remember reading a fanficlet in which Harry went  
into the RoR wanting Voldemort's head on a platter), it's not  
actually in evidence in the books. Everything we're shown indicates  
that the RoR has a possibly finite collection of specific rooms, from  
which it picks the one best suited for what you need. In particular,  
there's no reason for all that unrelated stuff to appear in the  
version of the room Draco is working in in HBP, or for Trelawney to  
get the same room, unless this is the case.
