#Minecraft multiplayer free online play full

It seems there are many ways to play Minecraft online with others and I am just trying to wrap my head around it before jumping in. And I am assuming a Realm is just an easier way to have your own server without having to host it on your own machine? Is the only difference between a multiplayer world and a server is that the world on the server will persist even when the connected devices are turned off, assuming the device running the server stays on? I realize that with a multiplayer world, the person who owns the world would have to be playing in order for others to join, unlike a server. How can I invite a friend to join my world, not locally but over the internet? How does this differ from a self hosted server? I don't understand how this works though. I have the Switch edition, and when I create a world it makes me choose a setting on whether or not I want to have the world be multiplayer and who can join my world (friends, friends of friends, etc.).
