Sending a message to another Asterisk instance shouldn't be any different than sending it to any other SIP endpoint. If you are routing through two Asterisk boxes, you just have to make sure your dialplan on both boxes will relay the incoming messages, otherwise they will not make it through.  No automatic relaying of message 123 at 10.0.1.105 will be done.  The message will hit the dialplan and then it has to be relayed to the actual sip peer.  This is the same pattern used for incoming calls.  If it helps you conceptualize this, just replace Dial with MessageSend when you are thinking about the message framework.
