sorry for my ignorance, but maybe you can shed some light on this for me.

Based on coding, sometimes the engine would move units in Austria to closest friendly location. In other situations, those units might be destroyed. I gave France foreign access rights and that worked. However, the French units were still deep in Austrian territory and even with supply rights, not getting enough supply and taking horrendous attrition and supply related hits moving back to France during winter. Not sure if building up depots and turning those over to Austrians would have improved the supply situation. Didn't have time to test that.

Supply Rights allow for using the supplies of a nation granting you those rights. Access Rights are the same as Supply Rights and Passage Rights combined. Neither of those allow for your faction's supplies to move into or pass through any foreign regions in which you have Supply or Access Rights.
In the example of France being deep inside Austria when Austria surrenders, where are the French forces getting supplies up until then, considering they are deep inside Austria without any direct line of communications to France?
