TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, embassies will make notarised copies of your passport to ensure accuracy from the original document. Additionally, immigration may also create copies regardless of whether you provide an embassy-certified document. In Thailand, while there are no official notary publics, some lawyers can perform similar functions, and certain notarized documents may still be accepted.

 there are no notary publics in Thailand. Only lawyers who can take over certain procedures, however they cannot certify a document like a notary

 although technically true I believe, in practice it really depends on the document and who it is for. I was recommended a lawyer by someone who has documents "notarized" all the time and have had no issues. I used them for one recently and asked the place requesting it if they accepted thai notarizations. This place usually does everything by the book to a T and they ended up accepting it.

I know the UK Embassy requires an online appointment, often booked up weeks in advance. I would imagine other Embassys are similar...

Correct. They have to, to ensure the copy was alternated from the original.
