Yep, you guys are correct.
Worlds in the same localverse are in the same universe and have the same physics. So spells will work the same on those worlds as on your own, even if it isn't a "known" spell on that world.
[Caveat, there is not just one spell for the same affect, most affects can be done in different ways, sometimes with other elements]
Astlan, Avalon, Etterdam, Nysegard, Romdan and Ithgar and Targella are all in the same localverse. So most of the current Doomalogues are in the same localverse, and I should note that this universe/localverse has so many because it is tightly linked to the Abyss due to it's laws of magic being so good at binding demons.
Visteroth and Gormegast are also in the same localverse, but, in different galaxies. Visteroth is in the galaxy Hycenth III and Gormegast in is Daedenus 1 (and the Antilles is in a large globular cluster on the edge of this galaxy).
As we will see in OOA. Those two galaxies have had no previous contact other than through Doom, so they might as well be different localverse
Except for the entire plot of OOA!
Plane jumping spells work about as well for other planets, they are a bit different, but not hugely different. In someways it is like the World Gates, it's just a different address in the multiverse.
There are, however, other ways to travel and colonize in magic worlds. You will get some clues as to how it might work in a magic world in OOA.
However, both the Nimbus and the Inferno are capable of intra-Fierdal travel--but the distances are vast. They would have problems similar to your own Earth in terms of travel times.
That being said, alfar could fairly easiiy travel the Fierd system given their long lifetimes.
But finally yes...a lot of the colonization was originally done by the gods. Later in the series we will see more of this as the stakes raise.
Recall there were once a lot of other races on Earth. They were basically driven off by the Demi-Urge (directly or indirectly) along with many other events, including Ragnarok, the Nyjyr Ennead screw ups (see DemiUrge again).
