I'm just wondering if Time Machine's restore facility can restore the
back up taken from one Mac to another Mac? Say, for example, a laptop
gets lost - can it's Time Machine back up be used to restore the
laptop's contents to another Mac.

I imagine the answer must be yes, but it's not specifically mentioned in
all the help files which only talk about restoring data back to machine
from which the back up was taken.

You'd want to test it but the new OS install's "import data from your old
mac" routine claims to be able to restore data from a time machine backup.
