There are tons and tons of little singular Budda statues on a pedestal and perhaps a little roof, and people leave coins, sake, and dress them in jackets. There are also very tiny Shinto "shrines" on the top of mountains (like the size of a shoebox or microwave) that have a spot for offerings

There could be some bias on the translation. As an example, the name ID gives to it in Spanish (santuario al borde del camino=holy place close to a road) is somehow arbitrary. As most beginners read the translated tag name only, and different languages make different segmentations of reality,

Yes. According to this description in French [1], to be defined as "oratoire" / "shrine", there should be a cavity to exhibit something (with a cross, a roof, etc.). So, it's also my interpretation that the picture is more a column than a shrine. [1]
