You didn't see the scene in AOTC then where Obi-Wan Kenobi takes off from
the planet that has the Jedi Council headquarters, and then heads off for
the planet that has Jango Fett and all of the clones on it, and R4 is loaded
onto the ship. R4 also gets unloaded when Obi-Wan Kenobi gets to the clone
planet.
Yes, R4 actually does get in and out of the ship, and is a remarkably
complete astromech droid, the same as any other one, just a little different
in appearance, markings, and probably programming. He also is in another
scene when Obi-Wan lands on the planet that the bounty hunter Jango Fett
flees to.
