He didn't say queues though. CSP isn't processes streaming data to each other through buffered channels, it's one process synchronously passing one message to another. Whichever one gets the the communication point waits for the other.

It is both.

Hoare's later paper introduced buffered channels to CSP.

So one can use it as synchronous passing, or queued passing.
