Or is the CW just that any level of emulsification and sudsing carryaway is sufficient? Even like say 'beauty bars' that are like 1/2 cocoa butter?

Soap is soap. The mechanical action of rubbing your hands with soap and rinsing with water will give you an additional log kill beyond spraying with disinfectant.
The important thing is to also clean all surfaces of your fingers. Wash each one individually-top, bottom, and sides. It will look like you're jacking off your finger, but it is the most effective method.
Also, when you rinse, angle your hands up so that the water runs down your fingers and off your wrists.
