That's a fascinating technique. Did the commodore operating system itself push 6502 code to the floppy drives to move the heads, initiate data transfer, etc?

No, the basic floppy control software resided in ROM on the 1541. But as mentioned below, you could (and people did) essentially reprogram much of that stuff to enable copy protection, increase serial throughput speeds, etc.
