It's just a matter of logistics. If Writer A opens Chapter1.fm and inserts a cross-reference to Chapter2.fm which is currently opened by Writer B, then that will fail.
To succesfully be able to insert an inter-chapter cross-reference, Writer A needs all chapters to be writeable. After inserting the cross-reference, Writer A must save all chapters. Frame puts a cross-ref marker on the heading to which the cross-reference is made. An easy way around this is to coordinate the placing of cross-references at certain times during the project.
