Agree that the code examples look like communicating sequential processes (CSP) and/or async/await-style concurrency (i.e. co-routines in C++). To me this is not "Actors" at all. Actors don't "wait", they receive and send messages, and optionally specify the behavior for handling the next message.
What are actors doing between finishing processing the last message and receiving the next one?
yield to the event loop
So they're waiting.
