OK, let me see if I understand all this.

AFP is AppleShare. It can use AppleTalk or IP but the two are independent of each other.
"Above" ^^^
Old school, the following was true (if I understand correctly) - LocalTalk = AppleTalk over serial - EtherTalk = AppleTalk over Ethernet - TokenTalk = AppleTalk over Token Ring
So then, does AppleTalk now just mean "AFP"?
No, see above
So, hmm... what exactly does that "AppleTalk" checkbox in the OS X Network preference panel do anyway? Is that to turn on AppleTalk over the selected network interface?
Yes. In OS X you can have IP active over many interfaces simultaneously. You can only have AppleTalk active on a single interface.
AppleTalk and IP sit at equal levels in the networking hierarchy. They are two distinct ways of doing things. But since AppleTalk has a simpler configuration and is being phased out to boot it gets fairly minimal listing in the Network preference pane.
