Yes that is right.  The recipient would get an error message upon
opening the flp or zip, saying that one of the plugins could not be
found.

The same applies for VST effects.

You can get around the VSTi problem either by agreeing a list of common
VSTis or by converting the sounds created by the expensive VSTi into wav
samples and loading them up in a sampler channel.  This can be quite a
lot of effort and it increases the size of the flp or zipped loop file
quite considerably.

hope that clears that up for you,

Andy
