Also, how doe this process work when accessing the remote from other local servers.. I'm assuming, I have to copy the key/files to any box I want to access the remote VM from.

FWIW, I don't copy the private key of a user to any other user's directory.  I find that violates the "private" principle.  Each user has their own public/private key-pair.
