Ron:
Yes, there is an ASM instance that manages the disks.
Our company put together a high-level presentation on ASM a couple of
months ago for presentation at an Oracle event. It is not a
kernel-level nuts and bolts internals presentation (it was for a mixed
audience of technicians and managers), but it does provide an overview
of what ASM is and how it works. There is a basic walk-through on how
to set it up, query information in it once it is setup, etc.
You can snag the PDF off of our website if you're interested:

I hope this helps answer some of the questions.
