According to this article, support.google.com/adwords/answer/6076199
When you define a final URL as your landing page, you can use URL options to manage your tracking and redirect information.

So, my website is example.com and the 3rd party service I use is called 3rdpartytracker.com
Let's say that I own the 3rdpartytracker website too.
www.3rdpartytracker.com/rd?keyword={_mykwid}&ad={creative}&url={lpurl}

Do I have to set a redirection script into 3rdpartytracker.com to send me back to the example.com?

Or it will take me automatically back?
I mean how does this work in a more technical approach?

The third party tracker would have to a redirect to your site. Google has designed it so that it can work with any redirect script that takes the redirect as a parameter. The parameter name doesn't have to be url. It could be something like:
3rdpartytracker.com/track?redirect_to={lpurl}
