Default remote procedure call question

Hello

I was trying to figure out how what RPC is and how it works, and i came across this link
http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/node33.html

it states that

"RPC is a powerful technique for constructing distributed, client-server based applications. It is based on extending the notion of conventional, or local procedure calling, so that the called procedure need not exist in the same address space as the calling procedure. The two processes may be on the same system, or they may be on different systems with a network connecting them. "


a noob question, but does this mean that two processes always have unique address spaces even if they are running on the same machine?
