Does ABB have a remote virtual pendant to run a real robot - similar to EPSON’s RC+ robot manager say.  
The Robotstudio Flexpendant viewer I assume it can only work if a physical pendant is attached to the controller

Right, the flexpendant viewer, is just that and only that: a _VIEWER._ The Virtual tp runs only the virtual controller. As best as I know, there is no crossing over from the virtual to real and vice versa.
