I want to create an application that has multiple touch surfaces, preferably using the Metro/WinRT APIs. However, much of what I've read indicates that Metro is confined to a single (primary?) monitor. Is that true?

Select Start , then open Settings . Under System , select Display . Your PC should automatically detect your monitors and show your desktop. If you don't see the monitors, select Multiple displays , then Detect.
The number of available video connectors depends on the type of graphics card that is installed in the computer. Most desktop graphics cards support two or more monitors, depending on the graphics card and computer specifications. However, laptops can support up to two monitors depending on the computer specifications.
Metro style applications are full screen, single screen only. There is no way to have a dual-screen application.

I have tested Win8 with multiple monitors. The metro interface is only ever available on a single monitor, with the othe always displaying the 'traditional' desktop. You can switch which monitor displays the metro UI, but cannot render it on both.
