That last statement is incorrect on two counts.

First, a process is "part" of IPC only if it engages in IPC. I don't know how the word "internally" would apply either.

And, there are many methods/mechanisms used to implement IPC. D-Bus is only one of them. So, it is not a given fact that a
process engaging in IPC would automatically use D-Bus. The method of implementation is up to the application developer.
