Correct me if I'm wrong, but all us investors experience from the eMaxis Slim All Country fund is the fund's price movement, no?
You are not wrong. Just the price increase/decrease.

Yes, from what I understand, the fund internally re-invests dividends of companies within the fund that pay dividends, but does not pay-out dividends to investors, nor re-invest those dividends marked for investors to purchase more of itself.
Agreed. No payout of dividends to investors.
I don't understand the part I put in bold.
Aiming to retire at 60 and live for a while longer. 95% index funds (eMaxis Slim etc), 5% Japanese dividend stocks.

Ah, what I meant was that, since the eMaxis Slim fund does not pay dividends, it also does not have the ability to use the dividends to buy more of its own shares (DRiP?).

The eMaxis Slim funds are internally reinvesting those dividends so they in fact act just like a DRIP.
