I don't know if either of those are true. I tend to think they aren't.
I can personally confirm that you do not have to be in range of the fate to receive the atma. One of the three I have so far (it was in morbol drydocks in la noscea) I got by taking a fate to 80% and then running to another fate to start that one.
