Semaphores don't necessarily need to be cross process.
Yes, it is not necessary.
As I wrote, some frameworks (i.e. .NET) provide classes like "threading
semaphore".
"By default" since 1960s semaphores are designed and used to synchronize
the processes.
When the semaphore's scope is limited by threads it is documented as
"threading semaphore" in most cases.
