Well, the external website has its own web server. To server ColdFusion,
the web server that is handling the requests for the external web site would
need to have ColdFusion installed on it as well.
On your local system, you would have a developer copy of ColdFusion
typically, but on external websites you will either have the hosting
provider having ColdFusion installed or the dedicated server having
ColdFusion installed.
Either way, you need a software piece to be able to interpret and parse
ColdFusion pages. ColdFusion is not native to IIS or Apache.
The developer edition is free, but for servers that have more than one
connection connecting to it, then you will need to buy additional software.

Would that still be true if the pages were served externally in the
proper manner? This problem only exists when trying to open a .cfm locally
on the server. For example, this site, http://www.superlawntrucks.com is
served as requested and there are no errors with it when accessed
externally.

For IIS in the past, it is usually a file called iis.msc, which may have
changed for IIS 6 and later.
You usually can find your IIS manager from your Administrative tools that
is available from your start menu or it can be located in your Control Panel
menu.
I agree with Dean about your web server not knowing how to serve CF
pages. What happens in IIS, is a DLL file is associated to a .cfm or .cfml
files. This DLL has the responsibility of calling and executing the CF
engine to parse the .cfm page being requested.
If IIS doesn't know what to do with a file extension, it will download it
like it an executable or .zip file.

There should be a IIS plugin to handle the CF content, is it
configured in the IIS Admin?
Check out the docs on adobe.com for specific config information.
