ah ok,
It sounds like the coordinate systems in essence are the same, they
just have a different origin, for all the other parts, it's just the
same thing, just translated and/or rotated for another part?

I wondered what all the different coordinate systems are for, their

(I know what a coordinat system is, mathematician here.)
This allows you to set up an offset from a main coordinate system, for
instance if you have several identical features to be machined on a
part, one hunk of G-code could machine each part and then set up the
offset to machine the next instance.
It can also be used if you have several parts mounted in a fixture,
one coord system for each part.
