To your first question, I think the answer is probably yes. But in general we use network sockets to pass messages around (or RMI, JMS, OSC, you name it).
Windows messages are something different. Processing is based on Java, which aims to be system agnostic, so it is harder to do low level stuff with it. You can handle them by writing some native code and interfacing to it with JNI or JNA (domains I haven't much experience in), but it is far from trivial.
