loader valves are technically remote valves as well. You can also get mid mount and loader mount valves for various equipment.
Examples of remote hydraulic equipment: side boom mowers, bat-wing mowers, grapples, top-n-tilt kits, and the list goes on.
Not always necessary but can be real handy. Get the remotes if you can.
For loader enhancements like a grapple, you will also see them referred to as 'third function' remotes or valves sometimes.
As in: function 1 is raising the loader arms, function 2 is curling/dumping the bucket and the 3rd function would be closing/opening the grapple arms.
