I've read the wiki on llRezObject and there's a parameter at the end that can send an integer value to the newly rezzed object but there's no mention of how its passed (how does the new object receive that value so it can be used)?

When an object gets rezzed it does the
on_rez(integer p)
{
//the "p" here can be used as a channel to start communications or whatever
}
if there is no value for "p" it means it wasn't rezzed by a script or a parameter wasn't passed.

The same way you pass a value to a function... You give the parameter (an integer) a value in the sending program, and the newly-rezzed object receives it. What you do with the parameter is totally up to you. As far as the new object is concerned, it's just a number assigned to a variable called start_param (or whatever you name it in that script's on_rez event). You can use it as a channel number, a dimension, a flag for goodness only knows what ..........

If you don't pass a starting parameter to the rezzed object, the start parameter defaults to 0. This can be useful when you're tweaking something and you don't want things to start happening when you rez it from your inventory rather than from the rezzer -- on_rez(integer p){
if(p!=0){ // i've come out of the rezzer, not someone's inventory
// do stuff
