> I'm pretty unfamiliar with BEAM. Does this "processes all the way down" span across machines/VMs?

yes for example if u had a process named on a different Machine(Node called in Erlang) called "Alice", u could from a different Node send it a message using the Node Identifier as additional parameter example:

[coolest_node | _rest_of_nodes] = Node.list()

Process.send({Alice, coolest_node }, :hi)
