One major difference - ZeroMQ and Erlang.

I think the assertion is that you can build the same type of abstraction over ZeroMQ that the Erlang runtime provides, at which point the "over ZeroMQ" part is just an implementation detail.

That is correct. But then, after you implement the system in question, you might not want to call that ZeroMQ any more. In the same way that we don't mention ssh when we talk about our Erlang clusters. And I think, you will lose quite a lot by cutting out all the goodies that ZeroMQ provides. You might not want to do that.
