If you're interested there's a lot of info about the compiler here: https://blog.stenmans.org/theBeamBook/#CH-Compiler

There are multiple passes, the last of which is byte code although at one point, native code was (is?) an option with HiPE (High Performance Erlang). HiPE seems to have been passed over by the development team in favour of JIT.
