I have not seen any documentation about what is required to have a working Intercom setup with automatic speakerphone talking, whether it be settings on the server or on the phones. Can you advise or point me in the right direction please?

If server-side support is needed, then I'm not understanding, what is the difference between adding a DSS key "BLF" button and an "Intercom" button? Does the phone send a different type of request so that the server knows whether a BLF or an Intercom button was pressed?

Yes, you are correct, the server get different requests, to identify the behavior of phone.
For Intercom, as I know, Asterisk need to configure a code, such as *80, which means if I want to intercom number 123, I need to put *80123 on the blank for Intercom DSSKey.
So, please contact your server provider for the Intercom code.
Any misunderstanding, freely to let me know.
