Intent is a data container. It makes no sense in this question. Now if you are are asking if some APIs using intent do these things... well, yeah. You can call an API with an Intent that will cause a sweeping set of stuff to happen -- for example with startActivity, which can result in lots of IPC (both via Binder and other ways) to communicate with the activity manager, display a window, etc; and forking of a process, and loading of an application (mmapping), and on and on.
