Not with Oracle. You have basically two possibilities with Oracle:

1. 1 instance, 1 database.
2. 2 or more instances, 1 database (RAC)

Your reference would be the first in this list, a 1 instance:1 database configuration for Oracle. 1 database: many schemas with Oracle.

Correct for Oracle.

Correct.

For SQL Server you're correct. For Oracle, no, as a 'fully qualified' object name would be SCHEMA.OBJECT_NAME. Accessing an object in a different Oracle database would require a database link, and would then make the 'fully qualified' name SCHEMA.OBJECT_NAME_at_REMOTE_DB.
