>Does this mean that even in VFP7, COM events are not surfaced, and essentially, what's happened is that VFPCOM.DLL has now become a part of the VFP7 exe, and that there are extra methods to make calls on these separate objects to capture these events?

VFP 7 can't raise events, just like 6.0.

Basically, yes, VFPCOM has been integrated into the product so there's no external DLL and installation required.
