I know this is probably a dumb question but I can't seem to find a straight answer. Once AMCAS has received my letter of rec and I have assigned them to the medical schools I want them sent to, I don't need to do anything else, correct? My application has been processed already so am I basically just waiting for AMCAS to send my letters to medical schools and for them to receive them? How long does this typically take?

The letters should be transmitted with your primary. It can take a little time on the school's end for them to be marked complete/received.

Okay, just to clarify, I already have submitted my application and have received secondaries, and after I added my letters I re-submitted my application and they have now been received at AMCAS. So these will now be transmitted from ACMAS to the schools that have already received my scores? I'm a little foggy on the order of events in this process, I apologize.

Gotcha. Yes they will send it relatively quickly. Once the letters are received it should be within a matter of days

Great, thank you!
