Interestingly enough, in Zangarmarsh, I met my first cross-realm player on the PTR.
.... from a US server.
I assume that this is because the PTR, you can play on both EU and US servers interchangeably, but it's something that made me a little bit excited.
I will, however, note that I was totally unable to whisper them. I am not sure if this is because of the naming convention, or if this is a bug... or a 'feature'.

Re: Cross-Realm Is Cross-World?
This is from multiple servers being merged in low population zones. It's also why you were flagged pvp in zangarmarsh--there are so few servers for the PTR and beta, they are combining pve and pvp servers. The flagging will not happen on live pve servers.

Re: Cross-Realm Is Cross-World?
Aha! That, at least, is a relief. I *hope*, anyway! ... having the PVP and PVE get merged is a little bit 'euh', though. I'm going to pray you're right about not getting flagged!

Re: Cross-Realm Is Cross-World?
I think it's simply because there are few test servers (and are they all located in the US?). I suspect on live we won't see US/EU cross realm, and we definitely won't have those godawful pvp issues we have right now.

There are 3 PvE test servers (US, EU, KR) and 2 PvP test servers (US, EU).
