Do they matter for importing/exporting resources? Is there some kind of LY limit where colonies will not get the provided in-faction modifier?

[AcaMetis]

Colonies get an Accessibility bonus/penalty depending on how close to/far away from the Core worlds they are, and Accessibility determines up to how many goods a colony can import/export both in-faction and to outside factions. Distance between player colonies isn't a factor, only distance to the core worlds.

Ok, so if a colony is 40 LY away from another colony and is mining organics, would the one that needs organics get the in-faction bonus?

If the organics-mining colony both produces enough and has a sufficiently high accessibility rating to allow it to export enough to supply the organics-importing colony while the organics-importing colony has an accessibility rating high enough to allow it to import at least as many organics as it demands then yes, an organics-mining colony 40 lightyears away from an organics-importing colony can fully supply the needs of the organics-importing colony.

The game's colonial economy and background shipping models aren't that complex; about the only potential problem insofar as shipping goes in having such widely separated colonies supplying each other is that it might possibly give pirates (or other hostile factions) more opportunity to kill convoys before they arrive at their destinations.

your own colonies do reduce the distance penalty a little bit, its not a big effect.
