A "message" can be anything - it can be a sample, a bit, a combination
of samples or bits, a set of parameters representing a square wave,
whatever.

Yes. In this particular example, a "message" means "a set of
parameters that describe a parametric square wave". To distinguish
between two or more messages, at least 1 bit is needed.
