Not "all messages sends". Only messages between concurrent entities (islands). This is the main difference to the all-out actors model (where each object is its own unit of concurrency) and has the advantage that you can reuse all of todays single-threaded code.
Just out of curiosity, how much work do you think it would be necessary to port the Islands system to the standard Squeak image?

This is what i mean. There is a BIG difference between concurrency (parallel execution with shared memory) and distributed computing. An 'islands' is fitting good for distributed computing, but does they fit for concurrent parallel execution? I doubt.
