is procmail an MTA?  or is it just a processing agent?

It does not provide a means of transporting mail between hosts, so of 
course not.

Many/most used it as an MDA; it's invoked by sendmail (the MTA) to perform 
delivery to the user's mailbox. Because it's fancier than most MDAs, it 
can deliver to other places.
