A question, if I may: when you say »from separate processes« do you mean multiple instances of /sbin/systemd running in various virtual machines in which each instance is managing the tree for its own virtual machine? Or is this still only one single host, no virtual machines involved, and you mean several processes of the systemd package that cooperate this way?

If your are refering to container virtualization (i.e. multiple userspaces on the same kernel) then yes, the idea is that the systemd in the container cooperates friendly with the host's systemd when it is interested in cgroups.

The term "virtual machine" is usually reserved for kvm and suchlike, i.e. virtualization that emulates hardware. In such vm setups systemd on vms knows nothing of systemd on the host.
