Yes they are both.

Indeed you must store separately products the company owns and products
she does not. Otherwise you can not know.
So it is not a virtual shipment, it represent a real operation.
For example, if you think about the reverse operation, the customer
bring back the product. You have to decide if you send it back also to
the supplier or if you keep it for your stock.
You must also be able to make an inventory of the product the company
owns. This can be done only if you have different locations.
Of course there are the special cases where the company location is
always empty. In this case, it may look strange but it is the cost to
pay to work with all other cases.

It is one per customer because you need to store the party on the
location for invoicing.

There is no consignment type.
Customer: customer
Main consignment: storage
Supplier consignment: supplier
Consignment: storage

There is two "customer" in the sentence so I do not know which one you
do not understand.
So the "customer warehouse" is something abstract that we do not care
because it is not the company warehouse. So it is any location of type
customer (with the proper consignment party).
The "customer location" is the location with the type customer that will
be used to invoice the customer.
