Correct. BBmax is BIS. BIS/BES is on a different server(hosted by BB) you even update BIS APN on your blackberry legacy device to use the service. Local carriers/service providers are just channels on the this process.
This is one of the reasons why BB(formerly RIM) ditch BIS on BB10 as it does maximize the high internet speeds(3G,4G) offered by carriers.
BBM does not really need BIS, you can even use it over wifi if you are not subscribed to BIS.
