Headless?

In the Features section of the xrdp GitHub project page is this: "Connect to a Linux desktop using RDP from anywhere (requires xorgxrdp Xorg module)"

Does this imply that serving from a headless Linux machine is not possible like we can with vncserver instances?

No. It means that you need an X server willing to provide access to the bitmaps inside it using that module, but you can run Xrdp fully headless against a memory buffer (like VNC does with Xvnc) or proxy via RDP to an in-memory VNC server (which is the “old” way of using Xrdp).
