It’s been half a decade since I last did Erlang, but wasn’t BEAM the Erlang VM and OTP the library that makes the networking possible?

Yes, that's a fair point. I should have written BEAM/OTP because they're separate things. BEAM enables the process model, but the implementation of things like networking is in OTP. I'm not sure how far deep the actual process implementation goes, (is it in BEAM or OTP?) I think it's BEAM but I could be wrong. I'm not really going that low in the stack.
