Question

Do all cars have the bell housing seprate from the transmission?

Answer 1

No they do not. Some cars do and some dont. Most US cars did up untill like the mid 70's but even there not all cars had a separte bell housing.

Answer 2

No, the bell housing holds the clutch plates & is attached to the rear of the engine block. In a 4x4 drives you may find the bell housing seperated from the transmission. The front & rear end of the drive train linked by propeller shafts, what you probably see would be like: engine/bell housing > prop shaft > transmission > prop shaft to front-wheel drive > another prop shaft to rear-wheel drive. Newer engine designs have changed all that, if you are working on one now, it's great to explore around. Example, a side-mounted engine with 4x4 drive would have only two prop shafts, one prop shaft for the front-wheel drive & one prop shaft for the rear-wheel drive.
