That would be the case if M1 used scp to copy from M2 to M3, but
that's not what Ted described.
M1 makes an ssh connection to M2. Then, on M2, it mounts M3 and uses
cp to copy a file from M2 to M3. All the data is moving between M2
and M3; the only information that's moving between M2 and M1 is a
shell session.
Think of it this way: from a shell on M1, you manually ssh into M2.
You then type mount the M3 service, and copy a file to it. None of
the data's flowing through your ssh session; it's all happening on
the box you're ssh-ed into.
