So just to be totally clear, with a PCI-E x4 m.2 installed, I will be capped at using 2 SATA drives, for a total of 1 m.2 and 2 SATAs

No. It depends what slot it's in. You can have 1 m.2 + 4 SATA or 2 m.2 + 2 SATA.

The 1 + 2 is for ryzen 1. You have a 2600 which is ryzen 2.

I'm currently doing research into a build and while comparing AMD chipsets, specifically the storage support, there was some compatibility I don't quite get.  On AMD's website, the B450 chipset supports

4 + x2 NVMe (or 2 SATA 1 x4 NVMe on AMD Ryzen™ Processor)

Does this mean that I will only be able to use 2 of the 4 SATA 6Gb headers to connect to SATA drives (ok duh what else are they for?) if I use an m.2 ssd in PCI-E x4 mode?  This is all with a motherboard from my understanding that a PCI-E m.2 doesn't interfere with the PCI-E 16x for the graphics card (currently looking at the ASRock Gaming/ITX w/ wifi) plus a Ryzen 5 2600.

It just means using the second M.2 slot disables two SATA ports.
