Yes, EBGP multihop is between different AS's, that is a different setup, it must also have a way of reaching across the hops, an IGP.
On a IBGP you can have a hop across ie 5 routers in a IBGP peering session. As long as the IGP can reach the other peer it will work. Also, the full mesh requirement of IBGP is in logical and not physical links. In other words if you had 5 routers fully meshed each router would need 4 neighbour statments. And then consider the amount of BGP updates running to and fro, that is why route-reflectors are used, to minimize peering sessions.
